About

Lung Ultrasonography (US) has been shown to be effective for verifying endotracheal tube (ETT) position in adults and children but has been less studied in neonates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of lung US in determining correct ETT position in neonates, in comparison with X Ray
