简要总结
In this prospective observational study, we found that airway ultrasonography is useful for confirmation of tracheal intubation with high sensitivity (96.55%) In our study the airway ultrasonography was able to confirm ETT placement with 96% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Loss of snow storm sign was identified in all patients except 3 patients in whom the tube placement was confirmed by capnography. The saline filled cuff was visualized in all patients and was 100% specific for correct depth of ETT in the trachea when compared with chest X-ray. In 2 patients, we could detect esophageal intubation in real time by identifying the double track sign and absence of loss of snow storm sign and hence may have prevented esophageal intubations.
