Predicting proper endotracheal tube placement in underexposed radiographs: tangent line of the aortic arch

JN Pappas and PC Goodman
Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated an indirect radiographic means of predicting proper endotracheal tube placement on underexposed portable chest radiographs. CONCLUSION: When an endotracheal tube is 3.4-5.0 cm above the tangent line of the aortic arch, it is in proper position 95% of the time.
