What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

Summary

This study tested whether bedside ultrasound can accurately confirm that a breathing tube is placed correctly in emergency patients. Researchers compared ultrasound results to the standard capnography method in 70 adults. The goal was to see if ultrasound could be a reliable, fast alternative for this critical step.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could make confirming breathing tube placement faster and more accessible in emergency rooms, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study (70 patients). Ultrasound may not be as reliable as the standard method in all cases, and results may not apply to all emergency settings.

Who is studied

The study population consisted of adult patients aged 18 years or older who presented to the Emergency Department of Antalya Training and Research Hospital and underwent endotracheal intubation as part of routine emergency care. Patients were included after ethics committee approval if bedside ultrasound and capnometric end-tidal carbon dioxide assessment were performed for confirmation of endotracheal tube placement.
