Abstract
Cephalad displacement of the carina in infants with CDH may predispose them to right main-stem intubation and subsequent development of pneumothorax. We speculate that modifying the ETT insertion depth to 5.5âcmâ+âweight in newborns born at term may prevent pneumothoraces and improve outcomes for infants with CDH.
