- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of the correctly inserted endotracheal tubes when using the above diagrams (both together), defined as:<br>ETT tip projection in the X-ray between the middle of the vertebral body T1 and the middle of the vertebral body T3.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method - Percentage of the correctly inserted endotracheal tubes, separated to the two graphics (PMA or weight), defined as:<br>ETT tip projection in the X-ray between the middle of the vertebral body T1 and the middle of the vertebral body T3.<br>If there is a difference in the forecast values ??of the two graphs of> 20%, a test for statistical significance will be carried out.<br><br>- To determine the risk factors for a wrong recommendation, the weight and length percentiles will be detected to determine whether there was hyper- / hypotrophy and in which diagram this possibly led to an increased occurrence of incorrect positions.<br><br>Amendment 02/11/2022:<br>- Percentage representation of the correctly inserted endotracheal tubes when using other orientations (e.g. tip marking of the ETT by the manufacturer).<br>A test for statistical significance will be carried out, if there is a difference of >15% compared to the main plots.
