Appropriate placement of the ETT can be challenging and, if done incorrectly, can lead to complications such as hypoxemia, atelectasis, hyperinflation, barotrauma, cardiovascular instability, end organ damage, and even death. Although several procedures exist to help assess ETT confirmation, all have limitations, are not always reliable, and vary in their degree of accuracy.
