Randomized Controlled TrialImproving detection by pediatric residents of endotracheal tube dislodgement with capnography: a randomized controlled trial.
The authors sought to determine if capnography could improve time to correction of a simulated endotracheal tube (ETT) dislodgement by pediatric residents. ⋯ Capnography decreased time to correction of ETT dislodgement by pediatric residents. Capnography should be considered as an essential monitoring device for intubated patients to enhance patient safety.
