Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Neonates and infants who undergoes an elective / emergency orotracheal intubation with tip of the ET tube in clinically effective position based on ET tube depth marker at the level of glottis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Infants with congenital anomalies of head and neck that complicate the ET tube intubation procedure are excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure the inserted depth of ET tube, nasotragal length, sternal length, foot length, thyromental length and manubriosternal junction to mental length and find out appropriate formulae for estimating the insertion depth of endotracheal tube using those parameters.Timepoint: 30 minutes to 1 hour—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
to develop a regression model to predict ET tube insertional depth using the anatomical parametersTimepoint: at the time of intubation—
