Ultrasonography Clinical Trial
— SDEIDIOfficial title:
Real-time Sonography as an Auxiliary Approach to Detect Inadvertent Esophageal Intubation Before Ventilation Among Suspected Difficult Intubation Patients: a Randomized Control Study
Early detection of esophageal intubation, one of the most common complications while performing endotracheal intubation (ETI), is crucial to adequate airway management, especially among patients suspected of difficult intubation (DI). Detective approaches with ventilation require time, increase the risk of emesis and aspiration to patients, and increase the risk of particle aerosolization to health providers under the epidemic of aerosol-borne diseases. Our study will determine the effectiveness of real-time sonography assisted to direct visualization to detect esophageal intubation before ventilation among DI patients.

Primary | The specificity. | The detected negative/ true negative. According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In group ultrasonography assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis. If neither the specific US nor the clear visualization is noted, the intubator and the sonographer will discuss and reach a consistent conclusion in three seconds. | Upon or within three minutes of performing intubation. | |
Secondary | The sensitivity. | The detected positive/ true positive. According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In the group using ultrasonography-assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis. If neither the specific US nor the clear visualization is noted, the intubator and the sonographer will discuss and reach a consistent conclusion in three seconds. | Upon or within three minutes of performing intubation. | |
Secondary | The positive likelihood ratio. | The positive likelihood ratio is calculated as sensitivity/(1 - specificity). According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In the group using ultrasonography-assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis. If neither the specific US nor the clear visualization is noted, the intubator and the sonographer will discuss and reach a consistent conclusion in three seconds. | Upon or within three minutes of performing intubation. | |
Secondary | The negative likelihood ratio. | The negative likelihood ratio is calculated as (1 - sensitivity)/specificity. According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In the group using ultrasonography-assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis.

Secondary | The diagnostic odds ratio. | Positive likelihood ratios/Negative likelihood ratio. According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In the group using ultrasonography-assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis. If neither the specific US nor the clear visualization is noted, the intubator and the sonographer will discuss and reach a consistent conclusion in three seconds. | Upon or within three minutes of performing intubation. | |
Secondary | The positive predictive value. | Cases of true positive among detective positive/ cases of detective positive. According to the purpose of the proposed study, we will define esophageal intubation as positive, and endotracheal intubation as negative. In group direct visualization, positive and negative are defined as absent and present visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis, respectively. In the group using ultrasonography-assisted direct visualization, positive is defined as sonography detection of esophageal dilation or "double-tract" sign, and negative is defined as direct visualization of the tracheal tube passing through the glottis.
