Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate post-extubation laryngeal edema risk from intubation duration, female sex, tube size, and traumatic intubation history

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Intubation duration — The intubation duration recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Female sex — The female sex recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Tube size — The tube size recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Traumatic intubation history — The traumatic intubation history recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the laryngeal edema risk result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the intubation duration, female sex, tube size, traumatic intubation history for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate post-extubation laryngeal edema risk from intubation duration, female sex, tube size, and traumatic intubation history. Use the laryngeal edema risk result to inform your calculation.
