Diagnostic accuracy of point‐of‐care ultrasound compared to standard‐of‐care methods for endotracheal tube placement in neonates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Pediatric Pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25955
Abstract: Point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable tool to determine endotracheal tube (ETT) placement; however, few studies have compared it with standard confirmation methods. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS and time‐to‐interpretation for correct identification… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2016.05.025
Abstract: Purpose: Few guidelines exist regarding the selection of a particular type or size of tracheostomy tube. Although nonstandard tubes can be placed over the percutaneous kit dilator, clinicians often place standard tracheostomy tubes and change… read more here.

Respiratory pathogen colonization of dental plaque, the lower airways, and endotracheal tube biofilms during mechanical ventilation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Critical Care"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2016.07.019
Abstract: Purpose: In mechanically ventilated patients, the endotracheal tube is an essential interface between the patient and ventilator, but inadvertently, it also facilitates the development of ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) by subverting pulmonary host defenses. A number… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2017.01.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Waveform capnography is considered the gold standard for verification of proper endotracheal tube placement, but current guidelines caution that it is unreliable in low-perfusion states such as cardiac arrest. Recent case reports found that… read more here.
