Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chest X-ray and/or fluoroscopy is not routinely used in the OR to confirm endotracheal tube (ETT) placement by anesthesiologists. Multiple studies have shown that \~19% of all intubations result in inappropriate ETT placement. An adult study has shown that ultrasound point-of-care is superior to auscultation in determining the location of ETT. This study aims to determine if point-of-care is useful in determining ETT position in children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients scheduled to have a procedure in the cardiovascular laboratory where fluoroscopy is routinely used will also undergo a point-of-care ultrasound exam to determine endotracheal tube position. An anesthesiologist will perform the ultrasound exam.
