Correct placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in the trachea is crucial. Several methods have been suggested for determination of correct ETT placement. However, to date, auscultation of the left and right lung is the standard of care and the only ubiquitary available method with an error rate of up to 12%. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive method for evaluation of left and right lung ventilation. In this study the investigators investigate the potential role of EIT for proper placement of pediatric endotracheal tubes.', 'detailedDescription': 'Several methods have been suggested for determination of correct ETT placement. These include for example the marker method, the mainstem method or the formula method. However, to date, auscultation of the left and right lung is the standard of care and the only ubiquitary available method with an error rate of up to 12%. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive method for evaluation of left and right lung ventilation. In this study the investigators investigate the potential role of EIT for proper placement of pediatric endotracheal tubes. For this purpose, pediatric patients are routinely intubated for cardiac catheterization using the mainstem method or 3xETT size method. Placement of the ETT is then verified by intraoperative fluoroscopy and lung ventilation is verified by EIT.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '10 Years', 'minimumAge': '1 Week', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* written informed consent from the parents\n* endotracheal intubation with a standard endotracheal tube\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* refusal of written informed consent\n* severe lung diseases\n* contraindication for use of electrical impedance tomography'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01237756', 'briefTitle': 'Electrical Impedance Tomography for Endotracheal Tube Placement', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital Freiburg'}, 'officialTitle': 'Electrical Impedance Tomography for Endotracheal Tube Placement in Pediatric Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '198/08'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'pediatric', 'interventionNames': ['Device: measurement of left and right lung ventilation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'measurement of left and right lung ventilation', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'otherNames': ['EIT, Draeger'], 'description': 'Patients are ventilated after endotracheal tube placement and left and right lung ventilation if determined using electrical impedance tomography', 'armGroupLabels': ['pediatric']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '79106', 'city': 'Freiburg im Breisgau', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'University Medical Center Freiburg', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 47.9959, 'lon': 7.85222}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Daniel Steinmann, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University Medical Center Freiburg'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital Freiburg', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Dr. med.
