Background and Aims: Diagnosing accurate placement of the tip of the endotracheal tube is crucial in pediatric practice. This study was conducted to find out the efficacy of five clinical methods to ascertain the tube position by a resident anesthesiologist. Material and Methods: This was a randomized crossover study conducted in a research institute. Fifty pediatric patients were enrolled. All patients were randomly allocated to tracheal (group T) or bronchial group (group B). The five clinical methods which were evaluated include the auscultation, observation of chest movements, bag compliance, tube depth, and capnography. In group T, the tube was placed in the trachea and later positioned in bronchus (assisted by fiberoptic bronchoscopy). The vice versa was done in group B. In each position, a single test followed by all tests was performed and after the change of position, the same single test followed by all tests was performed. Correct and incorrect diagnoses by tests in detecting tube positions were made and their sensitivity and odds ratio were estimated. Results: The tube depth and combination of all tests detected endobronchial intubation with a sensitivity of 88% and 97%, respectively, which is more than that of auscultation (70%) and observation (55%). Evaluation of the difference in agreement level of tube depth to detect tube-position showed the odds ratio of 2.28 (0.17–30.95) for detecting endobronchial intubation. Conclusion: We observed that the tube-depth was better than the other individual tests in diagnosing endobronchial intubation in pediatric patients. However, its efficacy is lesser than that of performing all clinical tests together.
