No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the trauma setting, if a patient has arrived in the trauma bay with an ETC/King LT-D in place, it has traditionally been immediately exchanged out for an ETT upon arrival. The timing of the exchange has never been adequately defined in terms of safety. This study is a prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety of supralaryngeal, ETC/King LT-D tube, exchange \[either in the operating room (if immediate surgery is required) or after stabilization in the trauma bay/intensive care unit according to the protocol adapted previously by UWHC.
