No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Endotracheal intubation is a frequent procedure performed in neonates with respiratory distress. Clinicians use different methods to estimate the intubation insertion depth.

In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the two different methods (kilogram + 6 cm and nasal septum-tragus length (NTL) + 1 cm) used to determine the endotracheal intubation insertion depth.

Conditions

  • Neonatal Respiratory Failure

Interventions

OTHER

Weight+6

For the Tochen formula in Group 1, ETT depth will be calculated by taking the infant's actual weight within the last 24 h and adding 6 cm.

OTHER

NTL+1

The infants in Group 2 will be intubated by measuring the NTL, the distance from the basement of the nasal septum to the the tragus of the ear. Measurements will be recorded as centimeters.
