Waveform Capnography Compared to Colorimetric Carbon Dioxide Detection During Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults
Sponsor: Brian Driver
Summary
This study will compare the sensitivity and specificity of waveform capnography versus colorimetric carbon dioxide detection to identify tracheal placement of the endotracheal tube during intubation of critically ill adults.

Conditions
Interventions
Colorimetric carbon dioxide (CO2) detection
All patients will undergo colorimetric carbon dioxide (CO2) detection. The reading will be assessed by a clinician at the bedside who will answer yes or no to the following question, asked after 7 breaths have been delivered following intubation: "Is the color change consistent with a tube located in the trachea?"
Waveform capnography
All patients will undergo waveform capnography. The reading will be assessed by a clinician at the bedside who will answer yes or no to the following question, asked after 7 breaths have been delivered following intubation: " Is the waveform consistent with a tube located in the trachea?"
