Placement and fixation of the endotracheal tube in trauma patients
Background To investigate the incidence of bronchial intubation in trauma patients intubated prehospital or in-hospital, in connection with receiving and treating of trauma patients at the Trauma Center at Aarhus University Hospital. To investigate whether the materials currently used for fixation of the tracheal tube ensures secure fixation of the tracheal tube. To investigate whether the meth...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Position in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To compare endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance obtained by ultrasonography vs. that obtained by chest X-ray in neonates. METHODS After endotracheal intubation of 40 neonates, chest X-ray and, within one hour, ultrasonography was obtained for each patient for measurement of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance. RESULTS Means of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distances wer...
متن کاملFirst thoracic vertebral body as reference for endotracheal tube placement.
After intubation in newborn infants, the placement of the endotracheal tube in the trachea must be checked by a chest radiograph. The most commonly used reference point for placement is the medial ends of the clavicles. The position of the clavicles may be variable. The present study was carried out to determine whether the body of the first thoracic vertebra should be used instead of the clavi...
متن کاملWhere's the tube? Evaluation of hand-held ultrasound in confirming endotracheal tube placement.
INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of endotracheal tube (ETT) mal-position may be delayed in extreme environments. Several methods are utilized to confirm proper ETT placement, but these methods can be unreliable or unavailable in certain settings. Thoracic sonography, previously utilized to detect pneumothoraces, has not been tested to assess ETT placement. HYPOTHESIS Thoracic sonography could corre...
متن کاملEndotracheal Aspirate Microscopy, Cultures and Endotracheal Tube Tip Cultures for Early Prediction of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of endotracheal aspirate microscopy, culture and endotracheal tube tip culture for early diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates. METHODS Inborn ventilated neonates were followed-up for ventilator-associated pneumonia using Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. Endotracheal aspirate microscopy, culture and endotracheal tub...
