Aims and objectives: This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy and timeliness of ultrasonography by static method only for identication
of Endotracheal tube (ET Tube) placement in the trachea in emergency settings vs existing clinical methods. Material and Methods: This
prospective study was carried out in the emergency room from October 2018 till the end of March 2019. The ultrasonography was performed in 120
emergency patients only after the intubation had been completed ie, static phase. A linear probe was used over the neck to identify the predened
signs of ET intubation. Residents who perform ultrasound examination ll a form after assessment of each patient. Results: It was found that
Tracheal Intubation-USG Sensitivity was 99.1, Specicity was 91.7, Positive Predictive Value: 99.1, Negative Predictive Value was 91.7 and
Accuracy was 98.3%. Ultrasonography can be used as an adjunct tool to verify the ETTposition by Emergency Physicians which can be performed
easily after a brieng or short-course training.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that US imaging has a high diagnostic accuracy to immediately
conrm proper ETT placement post-intubation in an emergency setup. Therefore, it seems that ultrasonography using a static technique only is a
proper screening tool in determining endotracheal tube placement.
