Confirmation of Ventilation and Intubation by Determination With Ultrasonography

Completed

Conditions studied: Critical Illness, Mechanical Ventilation

In brief

Chest radiography is the gold standard for confirming tracheal intubation. Bedside ultrasound can be a useful alternative. The investigators are conducting a multi-center, observational study from January 2019 to May 2020 (COVID-US Study) to determine the feasibility of tracheal and lung ultrasound in confirming endotracheal tube placement in the critically ill.
