Use of the oesophageal detector device in children under one year of age
Abstract
The efficacy of a modified oesophageal detector device was evaluated in a single-blind study of 20 healthy infants. It was found to be unreliable as a method to discriminate oesophageal from tracheal intubation in this age group.
