Background: A traditional method for depth of intubation in adult patients is taping the endotracheal tube (ETT) at the upper incisors a distance of 21 or 23 cm for women and men respectively (21/23 method). A novel "topographical" measurement for estimating proper intubation depth has been suggested as a better depth predictor compared to the 21/23 method.
