Performance of Lung Ultrasonography for Endotracheal Tube Positioning in Neonates

Lung Ultrasonography (US) has been shown to be effective for verifying endotracheal tube (ETT) position in adults and children but has been less studied in neonates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of lung US in determining correct ETT position in neonates, in comparison with X Ray

Treatment and study plan

radiography thorax

Other

The ultrasound of the thorax will be performed while waiting for the X-ray thorax

Primary outcomes

Concordance of ETT positioning according to lung ultrasonography with chest X ray results

Time frame: Day 0

X Ray correct ETT position : ETT's tip will be correctly positioned if located between the upper edge of the first thoracic vertebra and the lower edge of the second thoracic vertebra.

Ultrasound correct ETT position : ETT'S tip will be correctly positioned if the distance between ETT's tip and the junction of the brachycephalic artery with aortic arch will be measured between 0.8 and 1.5 centimeter

Secondary outcomes
