About

Continuous measurement of intratracheal pressure in mechanically ventilated infants using a fibreoptic pressure transducer in the endotracheal tube (ETT). Based on the findings, tracheal pressure can continuously be monitored in the presence of pediatric ETTs by combining ETT coefficients and the flow and airway pressure continuously measured at the proximal end of the ETT.
