Ultrasound-detectable Endotracheal Tube: a Feasibility Study

Recruiting

Who can join

6 Months – 42 Months · All sexes

Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient is undergoing scheduled or planned diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization with planned general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient has a known airway abnormality, including tracheal stenosis, previous tracheal stenosis, or tracheobronchomalacia.
* Patient has a tracheostomy.
* Patient is ventilator-dependent.
* Patient has an anticipated difficult intubation based upon airway exam and/or history of difficult intubation.
* Patient is unlikely (in opinion of anesthesia team) or is unable to be intubated with 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, or 4.5 mm Inner Diameter USD-ETT due to the size of the patient or their airway.
* Patient is already intubated prior to the scheduled procedure.
* It is anticipated that the patient will not be extubated after the catheterization procedure.
* Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial with an intervention during the cardiac catheterization procedure or 30 days afterwards.
* Allergy to plastic/materials in USD-ETT

About the study

The researchers are studying whether special features make it easier to see if the breathing tube is in the correct place. It is hoped that the investigational device will enable more accurate placement (depth and trachea vs. esophagus).
