Waveform Capnography Compared to Colorimetric Carbon Dioxide Detection During Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults

NCT06934876 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2092

Last updated 2026-05-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will compare the sensitivity and specificity of waveform capnography versus colorimetric carbon dioxide detection to identify tracheal placement of the endotracheal tube during intubation of critically ill adults.

Conditions

  • Acute Respiratory Failure

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Colorimetric carbon dioxide (CO2) detection

All patients will undergo colorimetric carbon dioxide (CO2) detection. The reading will be assessed by a clinician at the bedside who will answer yes or no to the following question, asked after 7 breaths have been delivered following intubation: "Is the color change consistent with a tube located in the trachea?"

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Waveform capnography

All patients will undergo waveform capnography. The reading will be assessed by a clinician at the bedside who will answer yes or no to the following question, asked after 7 breaths have been delivered following intubation: " Is the waveform consistent with a tube located in the trachea?"
