摘要
Study objective: To examine the validity of a disposable, colorimetric end-tidal CO2 detector in verifying endotracheal tube (ETT) placement in infants and children. Design: The detector was studied prospectively in 151 intubations. Setting: Operating room, ICU, and emergency department of a children's hospital. Participants: One hundred thirty-seven children undergoing endotracheal intubation for anesthesia (52), respiratory support (76), or CPR (23). Interventions: After endotracheal intubation, tube position was verified, the detector was attached, and readings were obtained. Measurements and results: The detector correctly identified tube position (trachea, 124; esophagus, four) in all 120 patients who were not in cardiac arrest (P < .01). In the cardiac arrest setting, all six esophageal intubations were correctly identified, but two of the 17 tracheal intubations were incorrectly interpreted as esophageal intubations (P < .01). Conclusion: The detector accurately identifies ETT position in children with spontaneous circulation who weigh more than 2 kg. During CPR, a positive test correctly indicates that the ETT is in the airway, but a negative result (suggesting esophageal placement) requires an alternate means of confirming ETT position.
