NCT03220698

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare tracheal ultrasound with direct visualization of tracheal rings for the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement in intubated patients. We hypothesize that this method is more reliable, cheap, and readily available for all emergency physicians.
