NCT00378651

Brief Summary

This study is intended to validate the use of neck auscultation with an electronic stethoscope during intubation to confirm tracheal tube placement. It is hypothesized that the ability to confirm correct tube placement with this technique will be similar to that of the end-tidal CO2 monitor, the current gold-standard device for confirming tracheal intubation.
