Endotracheal Tube Audible Leak Test
The endotracheal tube (ETT) leak test (LT), or audible leak test is a widely performed assessment to verify appropriate tube size in neonates, infants and children. However, many factors are known to influence the audible leak test. Even though the test is widely performed, the accuracy has not been evaluated.
