Summary In 100 children between the ages of 1–10 years, observers of differing experience reliably and rapidly detected 50 oesophageal and 50 tracheal intubations in a randomised single‐blind trial using the original oesophageal detector device. However, only two children under the age of 2 years were tested and no conclusions can be drawn for this age group from this study.
