The researchers are studying whether special features make it easier to see if the breathing tube is in the correct place. It is hoped that the investigational device will enable more accurate placement (depth and trachea vs. esophagus).

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Patient is undergoing scheduled or planned diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization with planned general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation.
You will not qualify if you...
- Patient has a known airway abnormality, including tracheal stenosis, previous tracheal stenosis, or tracheobronchomalacia.
- Patient has a tracheostomy.
- Patient is ventilator-dependent.
- Patient has an anticipated difficult intubation based upon airway exam and/or history of difficult intubation.
- Patient is unlikely (in opinion of anesthesia team) or is unable to be intubated with 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, or 4.5 mm Inner Diameter USD-ETT due to the size of the patient or their airway.
- Patient is already intubated prior to the scheduled procedure.
- It is anticipated that the patient will not be extubated after the catheterization procedure.
- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial with an intervention during the cardiac catheterization procedure or 30 days afterwards.
- Allergy to plastic/materials in USD-ETT
