چکیده
A new portable infra-red CO2 detector was assessed in 50 intubated patients. This device was 100% accurate in distinguishing between tracheal and oesophageal intubation when used by nursing and paramedic personnel.

Comparison of end-tidal carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation and clinical signs for the detection of oesophageal intubation.
The reliability of various methods for detecting oesophageal intubation was assessed by means of a single blind study in rats. Both oesophagus and trachea were simultaneously intubated. The presence or absence of various clinical signs was noted during tracheal or oesophageal ventilation and arterial blood gases and end-tidal CO2 were measured. Oesophageal ventilation for one minute was associa...
متن کاملA prospective study of physician pre-hospital anaesthesia in trauma patients: oesophageal intubation, gross airway contamination and the ‘quick look’ airway assessment
BACKGROUND In trauma patients intubated in a physician-led pre-hospital trauma service we prospectively examined the rate of misplaced tracheal tubes, the presence and nature of gross airway contamination, and the value of 'quick look' airway assessment to identify patients with subsequent difficult laryngoscopy. METHODS Patients requiring pre-hospital intubation in a 16 month period were inc...

Background and Objective: This clinical trial was conducted to evaluate optimal time of injection of a small dose of fentanyl during anesthetic induction to attenuate circulatory responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Materials and Methods: 120 patients who had enrolled in this clinical trial, with ASA physical status of I or II scheduled for the elective surgery. The patients were ...
متن کاملAirway Assessment : Predictors of Difficult Airway
Respiratory events are the most common anaesthetic related injuries, following dental damage. The three main causes of respiratory related injuries are inadequate ventilation, oesophageal intubation and difficult tracheal intubation. Difficult tracheal intubation accounts for 17% of the respiratory related injuries and results in significant morbidity and mortality. In fact up to 28% of all ana...
متن کاملCapnography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Use of waveform capnography during cardiac arrest was recomended in the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary esuscitation (CPR) Science with Treatment Recommendations.1 primary benefit includes confirmation that a tracheal tube (or ther airway device) has been placed correctly and is providing entilation of the lungs.2 Capnography is considerably more relible than either clinical ass...
