You have just successfully intubated a 45-year-old trauma patient. Which of the following is an essential step in their immediate post-intubation care?
Placing the patient in a prone position
Starting vasopressor therapy
Administering antiemetics
Assessing endotracheal tube placement
Assessment of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement is essential to ensure the airway is appropriately secured and functioning. Confirming placement involves checking for bilateral breath sounds, symmetrical chest rise, and end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) monitoring. Other options may be necessary but are not the most immediate step in post-intubation management.
