NCT01156233 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 69

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In pediatric anesthesia it is very important to place the endotracheal tube into the right position. This study compares two clinical location methods. The hypothesis means that the two techniques have the same precision of the location of the tip position of a cuffed MICROCUFF (Kimberly-Clark)endotracheal tube.

Conditions

  • Intubation, Endotracheal

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Anesthesia induction

Cuff palpation technique: identification of the cuff position in the trachea by palpation.

PROCEDURE

Anesthesia induction

Right mainstem intubation, identification of the tube tip position in the trachea by withdrawing the tube from the right mainstem until good quality breath sound in the left axilla are available.
