Ultrasound Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Location Using a Saline Filled Cuff
In Brief
An observational study for Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation (no Specific Condition). Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to help determine if the cuff of an endotracheal tube ( ETT) ( also known as a breathing tube)can be seen by ultrasound and to determine if visualization of this tube corresponds with correct tube depth. You are being asked to participate because you will be undergoing a cardiac catherization procedure which will involve endotracheal intubation. Ultrasound is a safe technology that your doctor could possibly use to see the breathing tube. Right now, x-rays, which come with their own risks, are being used for this purpose. We are trying to see if we can avoid using x-rays. This is a local study with 1 location. The study will enroll a total of 71 people. There is no sponsor for this study.
