Diagnostic accuracy of point‐of‐care ultrasound compared to standard‐of‐care methods for endotracheal tube placement in neonates

INTRODUCTION: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable tool to determine endotracheal tube (ETT) placement; however, few studies have compared it with standard confirmation methods. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS and time-to-interpretation for correct identification of tracheal versus esophageal intubations compared to a composite of standard-of-care methods in neonates. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the …
