Verification of endotracheal tube placement: a comparison of confirmation techniques and devices.
The properly placed endotracheal tube provides the definitive protected airway and is crucial to ensuring adequate ventilation in the event of cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, or significant trauma. Although unrecognized esophageal placement is rapidly fatal, it is not harmful if it is recognized quickly. Nevertheless, many malpractice claims have been prosecuted successfully because practi...
متن کاملConfirmation of endotracheal tube placement after intubation using the ultrasound sliding lung sign.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of the ultrasound (US) sliding lung sign as a predictor of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement. Many other tools and examination findings have been used to confirm ETT placement; erroneous placement of the ETT has even been confirmed by US. METHODS This was a laboratory study using fresh, recently dead cadavers. Cadavers were obtained at a medical school a...
متن کاملLaryngo-tracheal ultrasonography to confirm correct endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask airway placement
Waveform capnography was recommended as the most reliable method to confirm correct endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway placements. However, capnography may be unreliable during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and during low flow states. It may lead to an unnecessary removal of a well-placed endotracheal tube, re-intubation and interruption of chest compressions. Real-time upper airway (la...
متن کاملUse of ultrasonography in confirmation of endotracheal tube position
Methods This study was conducted on 100 patients who were admitted to Critical Care Medicine Department in Alexandria Main University Hospital with an indication of endotracheal tube placement. All patients were examined by ultrasonography “linear probe” after endotracheal tube insertion. Results were compared with capnometric readings (end tidal CO2). After confirmation of endotracheal tube po...
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...
