Abstract |
We evaluated the Beck Airway Air Flow Monitor (BAAM), through which airflow makes a whistling sound, for its safety and efficacy in confirming that an endotracheal tube is in the trachea. We studied 46 neonates ranging in weight from 0.6 to 3.7 kg. We found that the BAAM consistently produced the desired whistling sound signaling intratracheal placement of the tube in all infants weighing more than 1.5 kg. No adverse effects or complications were noted. (J PEDIATR 1996;128:568-70)
