The information provided is self-explanatory. If you enter the age in days, the app will assume the baby is a neonate or a very small infant and will take this into account in certain calculations, e.g. ETT size.

Additional functions: A body weight estimation tool is available to estimate the patient's body weight based on body length/height or age, according to local growth chart data.
