- Please place the "pinky" (little finger) of the patient across the bottom of the screen.
- Please scroll up the sizes of the endotracheal tubes to match the thickness of the child's pinki
- This will likely be the correct endotracheal tube size for the child.
- These images are based on the true outer diameters of the standard endotracheal tubes
- This sizing tool is valid for an iPhone and iPod touch only.

It takes into account the starting fluid deficit, Estimated blood loss, hourly maintenance rate and the Insensible fluids loss.
