ReviewRole of ultrasound in confirmation of endotracheal tube in neonates: a review.
Tracheal intubation (TI) is a commonly done procedure in neonatal intensive care unit and delivery room during resuscitation. The confirmation of endotracheal tube (ETT) position should be done quickly as tube malposition is associated with various serious adverse outcomes like hypoxemia, right upper lobe collapse, atelectasis, air leak syndromes and esophageal intubation. ⋯ USG has been used in adult and pediatric population for detecting ETT position but there are very less studies in neonates. In this review, we analyze all the published studies, case reports and personal experiences that have sought the use of USG in neonatal population for detection of ETT position.

Case ReportsPrenatal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of right aortic arch with mirror image branching and retroesophageal left ductus arteriosus.
To evaluate the utility of fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing right aortic arch with mirror image branching and retroesophageal left ductus arteriosus (RLDA). ⋯ Fetal cardiac MRI can be a useful adjunct for evaluating fetal right aortic arch with mirror-image and RLDA.
