1) Which of the following signs is LEAST reliable for diagnosing
esophageal intubation?


A.Symmetrical chest wall movement
B.End-tidal CO₂ presence (colorimetric/capnography)
C.Bilateral breath sounds
D.Endotracheal tube (ETT) tip above the carina on chest x-ray


Answer: D
Rationale: While a chest x-ray confirming that the tube is above the
carina can help verify depth of intubation, it is not a rapid or reliable
indicator of correct (tracheal vs.esophageal) placement.Direct
confirmation of CO₂ with a capnography device is the most reliable
immediate test to rule out esophageal intubation.
