Brief summary
The Intubation Assist Clinical Study is an observational study of adult patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia to assess the user interface, assess transthoracic impedance by the ventilation volume and assess transthoracic impedance. Monitoring will begin at the time the patient is pre-oxygenated in preparation for endotracheal intubation and will continue until 30 minutes after intubation is achieved.
Interventions
DEVICEIntubation Assist Dashboard
The ZOLL X Series Intubation Assist Dashboard feature guides the operator through a three-step auscultation process to verify the proper placement of an endotracheal tube.
