Use of ultrasonography in confirmation of endotracheal tube position
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 position (not esophageal), all ETTs were re-examined by ultrasonography after inflation of cuffs of ETT by 10 ml saline. X-ray identification of the position of the distal tips of ETTs confirmed whether the ETT was above the suprasternal notch (above the carina) or below.

Ultrasonographic 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...

INTRODUCTION Confirmation of proper endotracheal tube placement is one of the most important and lifesaving issues of tracheal intubation. The present study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of tracheal ultrasonography by emergency residents in this regard. METHOD This was a prospective, cross sectional study for evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in endotracheal tube plac...
متن کاملEnd-tidal capnography and upper airway ultrasonography in the rapid confirmation of endotracheal tube placement in patients requiring intubation for general anaesthesia
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Confirmation of correct endotracheal tube placement is essential immediately after intubation for general anaesthesia. In this study, we have compared upper airway ultrasonography (USG) with reference to capnography for rapid confirmation of endotracheal tube placement after general anaesthesia. METHODS A prospective, single centre, observational study was conducted on 100...
متن کاملUltrasonography for proper endotracheal tube placement confirmation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: two-center experience
Background A secure airway and effective ventilation are key components of advanced life support [1]. Unrecognized misplacement of endotracheal tube can lead to morbidity and mortality, with a reported incidence of approximately 2.9–16.7% in previous cardiac arrest studies [2–4]. Many traditional methods, including direct visualization of the vocal cords, observation of chest expansion, and che...
