Evaluating endotracheal tube length in very and extremely preterm infants.

Objective: Our study objective was to evaluate changes in ETT tube depth throughout the initial intubation course in very and extremely preterm infants in order to evaluate the risk of outgrowing an endotracheal tube (ETT).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of preterm infants born at <32 weeks of gestation who were admitted to the NICU between 2012 and 2021 and required intubation for mechanical ventilation. Infants who were intubated only for surfactant administration and those with airway malformations were excluded.
