Abstract
The formula 10.5 + (weight[kg]/2) showed a predictive capacity of 0.8939 to estimate the length (cm) of endotracheal tube to be introduced through the nasal route in 99 children between newborn and 4 years old. In a validation study, the formula maintained a high level of concordance with the true values: 0.9370.
