ABSTRACT
To assess accuracy of esophageal detector device [EED] for detection of endotracheal tube placement and to compare its performance with that of capnography. A prospective study in which 400 patients were divided into two groups. In group-I the patients were intubated as per routine, then the EDD and capnograph were again used to check both the tubes. The result showed 100% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 100% predictive value for EDD. The EDD was found to be very effective device in differentiating esophageal from tracheal intubation
