Upper airway ultrasound is a valuable, non-invasive, simple, and portable point of care
ultrasound (POCUS) for evaluation of airway management even in anatomy distorted by …

Study objective Intubation is routinely performed in the emergency department, and rapid,
accurate confirmation is essential to avoid potentially serious adverse outcomes. The …

Objective This study aimed to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis to
summarize evidence on the diagnostic value of ultrasonography for the assessment of …

Early confirmation of endotracheal tube placement is of paramount importance to prevent
hypoxia and its catastrophic consequences. Despite certain limitations, capnography is …

Background The integration of point-of-care ultrasound in endotracheal tube placement
confirmation has been focus of many recent studies. Objectives We sought to determine the …

Ultrasonography (US) has been shown to be effective for verifying endotracheal tube (ETT)
position in adults but has been less studied in infants and children. We review the literature …

Background Unrecognized esophageal intubations are associated with significant patient
morbidity and mortality. No single confirmatory device has been shown to be 100% accurate …

Background and Objectives: Over the past few years, ultrasonography is increasingly being
used to confirm the correct placement of endotracheal tube (ETT). In our study, we aimed to …

Background Waveform capnography is considered the gold standard for verification of
proper endotracheal tube placement, but current guidelines caution that it is unreliable in …

Background: Anesthesia trainee may initially take longer time to intubate and unintentionally
place the endotracheal tube (ETT) in the esophagus. The present study determined if …
