Confirmation of the correct position of the endotracheal tube using the auscultation method - considering the order in which the procedure was performed.
Journal Title: Critical Care Innovations - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Intubation of endotracheal route using direct laryngoscopy is the most commonly used technique of instrumental airway clearance. There is a question about the validity of the commonly used sequence of auscultating the patient immediately after the intubation. Should the first hearing of the upper abdomen decrease the risk of possible complications resulting from the introduction of the tube into the esophagus? In the preliminary studies conducted on human cadavers, it appears that auscultatory diagnosis of bubbling sounds during gastric ventilation is recognized in approximately 95% of cases.
