Abstract
Endobronchial intubation is one of the serious complications in emergency airway management. Endobronchial intubation may lead to hypoxemia and hypotension, resulting in cardiac arrest. While there are devices to detect esophageal intubations (eg, end-tidal carbon dioxide capnography), tools to detect endobronchial intubations are limited. Therefore, identifying patients at higher risk for endobronchial intubations before an intubation attempt is important. In the elderly patients, the risk of endobronchial intubation might increase due to their shorten tracheal length.
