Author: Michael Hunt, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Bedside transtracheal ultrasound to confirm proper endotracheal intubation is simple and effective
  • Review of 17 studies showed transtracheal ultrasound was was 98.7% sensitive and 97.1% specific
  • Curvilinear probe may be preferable as it provides a larger field of view
