Clinical tests for confirming tracheal intubation or excluding oesophageal intubation

Misting
• has a false positive rate of 0.69, meaning it is present in 69% of oesophageal intubations
• has a positive likelihood ratio of 1.46, meaning that the presence of misting indicates that tracheal placement is only 1.46-fold more likely than oesophageal placement

Chest auscultation
• has a false positive rate of 0.14–0.18, meaning that 14–18% of oesophageal intubations will be incorrectly classified by this test

Oesophageal detector device
• has a false positive rate of 0.05; this means it will ‘miss’ 1 in 20 oesophageal intubations

Chest rise
• one animal study looking at 20 rats showed a false positive rate of 0.15

I was reminded of something so powerful while listening to @Niigaanwewidam at TIFA today: in this reconciliation process, it can be frustrating. But always act in a manner with love. That’s it. So we press on ❤️❤️❤️

[Jason McVicar @jaymcv]

Very grateful to speak at the Canadian Surgery Forum with Drs. Rachel Livergant and Sam Bugis on Treaty 1 Territory and the birthplace of the Métis. Honoured to bring a message about how we can bring Reconciliation into our Operating Room Theatres.

@ON_Anesthesia Surgery, Obstetrics and Anesthesia services are interrelated and key to supporting rural communities. Losing them is akin to closing the high school or the water treatment facility.

[Ontario's Anesthesiologists @ON_Anesthesia]

Dr. Ariana Hillier, an FP-A from New Liskeard, talks about “the snowball effect” that losing anesthesia services in rural/remote locations can trigger, resulting in the loss of other vital medical services; all the more reason to invest in anesthesia HR #OAAM2024
