摘要:
A new lightweight device for the detection of placement of a tracheal tube in the trachea or oesophagus is described. The device utilises a sonic technique detecting resonating frequencies in an open (trachea) or closed (oesophagus) structure. Evaluation of the device in a clinical environment is described and it has been shown to be capable of verifying the correct placement of the tracheal tube in the trachea in 98% of patients studied. Further evaluation of this intubating aid appears justified.
