| Abstrakt: | Intubation in emergency settings demands rapid confirmation of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement for establishing a definitive airway. Current methods, including capnography and auscultation, have limitations. This study introduces a cost-effective and easily accessible training model for confirming ETT placement using ultrasound, aiming to improve training and patient outcomes. We developed a gelatin and psyllium-based model that simulates adult ETT intubation, offering an alternative to costly cadaveric models. The model's construction is described, with materials costing approximately $7.34 per unit. Preliminary results show promise in simulating tracheal and esophageal intubation scenarios. This novel model provides an ethical and economical solution for training healthcare professionals in the ultrasound confirmation of ETT placement, paving the way for further validation and adoption in medical education.
