Endotracheal Intubation

Keywords
ETT
Brief summary
Nowadays endotracheal intubation is considered a fundamental management procedure during emergency resuscitation. Unrecognized misplacement of the ETT during endotracheal intubation and ventilation, has a reported incidence of 2.9-16.7% and is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in emergency intubations. The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the tracheal, diaphragmatic and sonographic estimation of lung sliding for the rapid verification of endotracheal tube position in the intensive care unit (RICU) with reference to Co₂ monitors (capnography) (the gold standard technique)
