Continuous monitoring of endotracheal tube position with near infrared light.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Significance: Endotracheal intubation is a common approach for airway management in critically ill patients. However, the position of the endotracheal tube (ETT) may be altered during the procedure due to head movements. Accidental displacement or dislodge of the ETT may reduce the airflow, leading to moderate to severe complications, and in some cases even fatality. Therefore, timely detection of changes in ETT position in the trachea is critical to ensure immediate and intermediate interventions to maintain the ETT in the proper position. Currently, there are no widely utilized tools for real-time monitoring of ETT positions. Aim: The goal of this study is to develop a cost-effective and easy-to-use near-infrared (NIR) device, named Opt-ETT, capable of continuously monitoring the ETT position in the trachea of a patient. Approach: A side-firing fiber is attached to the side of the ETT to illuminate the trachea tissue with NIR light, and a detector board containing five phototransistors is affixed to the chest skin to measure the intensity of diffusely transmitted light. Displacement of the ETT is estimated using second-order polynomial fitting to the ratios of the phototransistor readings. Monte Carlo simulations, Results: The design of the Opt-ETT device has been verified by the Monte Carlo simulations and Conclusions: The Opt-ETT device provides a potentially cost-effective solution for real-time and continuous monitoring of ETT position in patient during an intubation procedure.
