Comparison of Flow Resistance Characteristics and Placement of Two Endotracheal Tubes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Confirmation of endotracheal tube (ETT) tip position and timely identification and correction of malposition is an essential component of care for endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated children. We evaluated the ability of a prototype optoacoustic medical device to determine ETT tip position. ...
