Which device is recommended for children under the age of 8?
  1. Tracheal Tubes
  2. Non-cuffed Tracheal Tubes
  3. Epi-tubes
  4. Cuffed Epi-tubes
Explanation
Answer - B - Non-cuffed tracheal tubes are recommended for children under the age of 8. In these children, the cricoids cartilage acts as an anatomical cuff since it is the narrowest part of the pediatric airway. In certain situations, a cuffed endotracheal tube may be used in children and infants less than 8 years of age.
