Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group A  Endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated with air and this will be observed as a hyperechoic air-mucosal interface with reverberation artifacts  
Intervention  Group B  ETT cuff will be inflated with saline and identified as a hypoechoic, oval-shaped structure in ultrasound the probe will be moved to the left lateral side of trachea to see the “double track sign” for esophageal intubation. In case of oesophageal intubation, ETT will be removed and trachea will be reintubated. Following the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement through ultrasound, the capnography waveform will be observed for seven waveforms to re-verify the successful endotracheal intubation. Bilateral air entry will be confirmed by auscultation of the chest before securing the endotracheal tube.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Patients will be kept nil per oral in accordance with standard ASA guidelines.The USG
linear probe (6-13 MHz, SonoSite Edge II) will be placed over the suprasternal notch in a
transverse orientation to acquire sono-anatomy of the airway before endotracheal tube
placement. Another qualified anaesthesiologist will perform endotracheal intubation with an
appropriately sized ETT. In group A endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated with air and this
will be observed as a hyperechoic air-mucosal interface with reverberation artifacts (comet
tail) posteriorly and snowstorm sign in ultrasound. In group B ETT cuff will be inflated
with saline and identified as a hypoechoic, oval-shaped structure in ultrasound. Thereafter
the probe will be moved to the left lateral side of trachea to see the “double track sign” for
esophageal intubation . In case of oesophageal intubation, ETT will be removed and
trachea will be reintubated .Following the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement
through ultrasound, the capnography waveform will be observed for seven waveforms to
re-verify the successful endotracheal intubation. Bilateral air entry will be confirmed by
auscultation of the chest before securing the endotracheal tube.
Stopwatch will be used to record the time elapsed between the insertion of the endotracheal
tube (ETT) and the confirmation of correct endotracheal intubation by either ultrasound
(USG).
