ETT depth may be predicted based on the patient’s height. This has been validated among both men and women, across different ethnicities, and among both adults and taller children. A height-based algorithm can easily be implemented by attaching a table to determine ETT depth and tidal volume to your airway checklist (example below). This table may simultaneously improve two aspects of post-intubation safety. #Management #CriticalCare #Intubation #Airway #Checklist #ETTDepths #TidalVolumes #Table #PulmCrit
