Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to know the accuracy of ETT confirmation and correct position between the two groups, to compare the time taken for confirmation of ETT placement between the two groupsTimepoint: every 2 hours I will confirm the position of ETT

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
to know the cost effectiveness between the two groups, reducing the time required for confirmation of ETT placement, to know the incidence and accidental extubation or displacement of ETT due to patient movementTimepoint: every 2nd day I will confirm the number of x rays done
