Study Summary
Chest X-ray and/or fluoroscopy is not routinely used in the OR to confirm endotracheal tube (ETT) placement by anesthesiologists. Multiple studies have shown that \~19% of all intubations result in inappropriate ETT placement. An adult study has shown that ultrasound point-of-care is superior to auscultation in determining the location of ETT. This study aims to determine if point-of-care is useful in determining ETT position in children.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome marker for this study was the correlation between the weighted POCUS measurement of TT location and the weighted fluoroscopy measurement of TT location
