Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Acute and chronic respiratory failure,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/10/028203
• Lead Sponsor: ABVIMS And RML Hospital New Delhi

Brief Summary

optimal Position Of Endotracheal Tube Is necessary For Safe And Effective Ventilation. Initial Estimation Of Endotracheal Tube Depth To Be Inserted Is Based Upon Various Methods That Are Weight Based, Gestation Based , Vocal Cord Guide Based, Nasotragal Length Based And Suprasternal Notch Palpation Method Based. All These Methods Are Crude Estimation Methods And Frequently Needs Manipulation Of Endotracheal Tube After Getting X-ray Chest. Often These Methods Place Endotracheal Tube At Sub-optimal Position Leading To Life Threatening Complications Such As Hypoxia, Hypercarbia, Lung Collapse, Pneumothorax. Ultrasonography To Detect Endotracheal Tube Position Has Shown Very Good Correlation With X-ray Chest in Various Previous Studies. Our Present Study Will Assess The Role Of Ultrasonography To Complement Our Conventional Method (Tochen’s Plus X-ray Chest ) In Placing Endotracheal Tube At Optimal Position In Neonates Requiring Mechanical Ventilation In Our NICU.
