➡️ A 43-year-old female patient in the emergency department was just orally intubated with an endotracheal tube. Which of the following would you INITIALLY recommend in order to confirm that the tube is in the proper position?
A. Auscultate the patient’s chest and abdomen
B. Perform a STAT chest x-ray
C. Use capnography to verify exhaled CO2
D. Observe chest wall movement
For the TMC Exam, you must know how to confirm that the ET tube is in the proper position. This question is kind of tricky because the answer choices are all correct methods of confirming tube placement. The key word in the question is the word: Initially.
Because, the question requires that you know which one to perform FIRST. So immediately after intubation, the first thing you should do is auscultate the lungs in order to listen for bilateral breath sounds. You should also auscultate the abdomen as well and there should be no air movement, otherwise, you can suspect that the tube is in the esophagus instead of the trachea. All of the answer choices are appropriate and should be performed, just know that auscultation is what should be performed FIRST.
