Journal ArticleDOI
The out-of-hospital esophageal and endobronchial intubations performed by emergency physicians.
Arnd Timmermann,Sebastian G. Russo,Christoph Eich,Markus Roessler,Ulrich Braun,William H. Rosenblatt,Micheal Quintel +6 more
TL;DR: The incidence of unrecognized esophageal intubation is frequent and is associated with a high mortality rate, and out-of-hospital care providers should receive continuing training in airway management, and should be provided additional confirmatory adjuncts to aid in the determination of tracheal tube placement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Routine Chest Roentgenograms and the Physical Examination to Confirm Endotracheal Tube Position
TL;DR: This study confirms the unreliability of the physical examination to assess ETT position and indicates chest x-ray films after intubation are indicated to verify tube position, particularly after emergency intubations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of managing the airway.
TL;DR: To minimize injury to the patient, the anesthesiologist should examine the patient's airway carefully, identify any potential problems, devise a plan that involves the least risk for injury, and have a back-up plan immediately available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auscultation versus Point-of-care Ultrasound to Determine Endotracheal versus Bronchial Intubation: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study.
Davinder Ramsingh,Ethan Frank,Robert Haughton,John Schilling,Kimberly M. Gimenez,Esther Banh,Joseph Rinehart,Maxime Cannesson +7 more
TL;DR: Assessment of trachea and pleura via point-of-care ultrasound is superior to auscultation in determining the location of ETT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endobronchial intubation detected by insertion depth of endotracheal tube, bilateral auscultation, or observation of chest movements: randomised trial
Christian Sitzwohl,Angelika Langheinrich,Andreas Schober,Peter Krafft,D.I. Sessler,Harald Herkner,Christopher Gonano,Christian Weinstabl,Stephan C Kettner +8 more
TL;DR: Less experienced clinicians should rely more on tube insertion depth than on auscultation to detect inadvertent endobronchial intubation, and even experienced physicians will benefit from inserting tubes to 20-21 cm in women and 22-23 cm in men, especially when high ambient noise precludes accurate auscULTation.
