  Purpose

To evaluate the ability of the SonarMed AirWave to provide clinicians with information that enables them to confirm continuous proper placement of the endotracheal tube. This initial study is prospective, observational, looking at CXR results, and comparing those to AirWave system output data.


Condition Intervention
Mechanically Ventilated Patients Admitted to a Medical Intensive Care Unit.
 Other: AirWave

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Novel Device (AirWave™) to Assess Endotracheal Tube Migration.

Further study details as provided by The Cleveland Clinic:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Endotracheal tube displacement measured by a novel device (AirWave) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Use of the AirWave in the study group to calculate ETT tip distance from the carina will demonstrate a strong positive correlation with chest x-rays results. Specific endpoints will include:

    • Compare CXR tube tip movement/distance to carina measurement results to AirWave tube tip movement/distance to carina calculation results (from the AirWave baseline location) within 24 hours after intubation.
