|---|---|
| Time taken by different confirmation methods to confirm correct tracheal intubation placementTimepoint: Time starts once the laryngoscope passes the incisors and stops when (1) visualisation of tracheal tube at suprasternal notch in trachea (2) visualisation of positive lung sliding sign (3) capnograph waveform. This is expected to be about 15-45 seconds from the time of intubation as per previous studies | — |
