BACKGROUND Existing guidelines for optimal positioning of endotracheal tubes in neonates are based on scanty data and relate to measurements that are either non-linear or poorly reproducible in sick infants. Foot length can be measured simply and rapidly and is related to a number of external body measurements. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relation of foot length to nasotracheal length in direc...
متن کاملHeight estimation from foot and shoeprint length.
Foot length displays a biological correlation with height that suggests the latter might be estimated from foot- or shoeprints when such evidence provides an investigator the best or only opportunity to gauge that aspect of a suspect's physical description. Previous utilization of percentages and linear regressions of foot length to make height estimates is reviewed and appraised, as is such us...

Plain endotracheal tube insertion carries greater risk for malpositioning than does reinforced endotracheal tube insertion in females
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Malpositioning of an endotracheal tube within the airway can lead to serious complications, such as endobronchial intubation, which may cause collapse of the nonventilated lung and barotrauma of the ventilated lung or vocal cord paralysis and accidental extubation [1]. We retrospectively identified 204 (54 plain tubes and 54 reinforced tubes in m...
