The distance between the tip of a tracheal tube and the carina was measured in twenty five patients who required tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation of the lungs. Two methods of evaluation of this distance--limited-optic bronchoscopy and chest X-ray--were compared. There was no significant difference between the distance measured by either method. The advantages of checking tracheal tube placement by fibre-optic bronchoscopy are discussed.
在25例需要气管插管及肺部人工通气的患者中，测量了气管导管尖端与隆突之间的距离。比较了两种评估该距离的方法——有限光学支气管镜检查和胸部X光检查。两种方法测得的距离无显著差异。文中讨论了通过纤维支气管镜检查来检查气管导管位置的优点。
