Ultrasound-detectable Endotracheal Tube: a Feasibility Study
Trial statusRecruiting
Trial phaseNot applicable
Trial typeInterventional
Biological sexAll
Age6-42
SponsorJohn R. Charpie
About this trial
The researchers are studying whether special features make it easier to see if the breathing tube is in the correct place. It is hoped that the investigational device will enable more accurate placement (depth and trachea vs. esophagus).
