A study by Chris Nixon published in Anesthesia & Analgesia, February 2000 - Volume 90 - Issue 2 - p 500, reported that: "The best correlate for length was [the patient's] weight, with a regression line of 0.13 × weight (kg) + 4.9 cm and correlation coefficient of 0.90. [Therefore,] For a 7-kg infant, the predicted length is 5.8 cm. For practical purposes, 5-cm lines may be used for 5- to 15-kg infants, 8 cm lines for children of 15- to 40-kg and 13 cm lines for those over 40 kg. Formulas based on patient height also provide reasonable predictions for insertion length: from Czepizak et al."
