The Cost

In Reply.— We agree with Dr Bloch that auscultation is a primary tool for determinig appropriate position of an endotracheal tube. However, experience in a busy neonatal intensive care unit has shown that, even with careful auscultation, endotracheal tubes still become inappropriately positioned, often with serious consequences. Our experience has been that the illuminated endotracheal tube provides a clear indication of depth of penetration when asymmetric lung disease may cause auscultatory findings to be equivocal. Dr Goldenring raises the important point that the cost of the illuminated endotracheal tube is under evaluation at the present time, and as soon as information concerning pricing is available, I will make this information available to the readership of Pediatrics.
