| Abstract | quently used in neonatal resuscitation to check the position of the endotra-cheal (ET) tube in term and preterm neonates. As a paediatric trainee having worked in various regions of the UK you note a huge variability in this practice. Clinical assessment of chest expansion and air entry, with improvement in saturations, colour and heart rate have been used for decades and work well. Is the Pedi-Cap superior to clinical assess-ment for checking the position of the ET tube? STRUCTURED CLINICAL QUESTION During intubation of neonates [patients], is a carbon dioxide detector [intervention] better than clinical assessment [compari-son] to detect correct endotracheal tube placement [outcome]?
