DOI: 10.1155/2013/569421The nasopharynx swab test is a commonly performed procedure for diagnosis of viral upper respiratory infections. The goal of this study is to explore surface landmark measurements in children (finger length, height , weight) can be used to accurately predict nasopharynx depth through a simple predictive formula. This could then be used to guide healthcare professionals in obtaining reliable bedside nasopharynx swabs.
