Study Summary
This trial found that the Core stethoscope was not able to distinguish between tracheal and bronchial intubation with auscultation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients of any age needing an endotracheal tube (ETT) for surgery. They must consent or have parental consent if under 18. It's not for those with major heart problems, significant lung disease, or anticipated difficult airway.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the accuracy of a new Core stethoscope and point-of-care ultrasound in confirming correct ETT placement during surgery to avoid complications like respiratory failure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects from using the Core stethoscope or ultrasound as they are non-invasive diagnostic tools; however, there may be indirect risks if these methods fail to accurately detect ETT misplacement.
