Critically ill patients who are intubated undergo multiple chest X-rays (CXRs) to determine endotracheal tube position; however, other modalities can save time, medical expenses, and radiation exposure. In this article, we evaluated the validity and interrater reliability of ultrasound to confirm endotracheal tube (ETT) position in patients. A prospective study was performed on intubated patients with cuffed ETTs. The accuracy of ultrasound to confirm correct ETT placement in 92 patients was 97.8%. Sensitivity, positive predictive value, and agreement of 97.7, 93.3, and 91.3% were found on comparing ultrasound to CXR findings. Ultrasound is feasible, reliable, and has good interrater reliability in assessing correct ETT position in children.
接受气管插管的重症患者需进行多次胸部X光检查(CXR)以确定气管插管位置;然而,其他方法可以节省时间、医疗费用并减少辐射暴露。在本文中,我们评估了超声在确认患者气管插管(ETT)位置方面的有效性和不同评估者之间的可靠性。对使用带气囊ETT的插管患者进行了一项前瞻性研究。超声确认92例患者ETT正确放置的准确率为97.8%。将超声与CXR检查结果进行比较,发现敏感性、阳性预测值和一致性分别为97.7%、93.3%和91.3%。超声在评估儿童ETT正确位置方面是可行的、可靠的,并且具有良好的不同评估者之间的可靠性。
