US offers handy visual on tracheal tube in kids slated for intubation
By Shalmali Pal
A 2007 pilot study found that ultrasound could accurately detect the placement of endotracheal tubes during intubation for surgery, but the patients were adults without any airway complications. Anesthesiologists from France raised the stakes by evaluating sonography for tube placement in pediatric patients with difficult airways. They presented their results last week at the American Society for Anesthesiologists (ASA) meeting in San Francisco.
