In patients with Robin Sequence under 4 years of age, the mean front teeth to vocal cord distance was found to be 1.2 cm longer while the mean nares to vocal cord distance was found to be 0.8 cm longer controlling for subject length. Clinicians should account for these differences when selecting and placing endotracheal tubes, particularly those with a preformed bend.
