This study is a single-center, randomized clinical trial conducted in an emergency department on intubated patients with rapid sequence intubation. Two sonographers will independently verify the accuracy of the intubation site using the assigned intubation method (tracheal, lung-sliding, or diaphragm) according to the randomization sequence. Each sonographer will be blinded to the other verification methods (physical examination, end-tidal carbon dioxide) being used. The study's primary objective is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different intubation techniques.
