Standardized endotracheal tube and intravascular access placement in infants born at 22-23 weeks gestation
There is limited information to guide delivery room placement of endotracheal tube (ETT) and umbilical catheters (UC) in infants born at a gestational age (GA) of 22-23 weeks. An evaluation standardized insertion depths for ETT and UC, with use of x-ray based measurements of their positions, demonstrate the feasibility of using GA-based insertion depths. The suggested insertion depths can be expected to result in accurate ETT and UC tip positions in infants born at 22-23 weeks.
