Primary outcomePrimary: Neutrophil Cell Counts in Tracheal Lavages — 112.02; 26.98; 61.72; 27.63 neutrophil/high powered field — p=<0.05
Summary
Patients will undergo placement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) as standard of care. Tracheal lavage will be conducted using 5 mL of sterile saline solution by a push/suction technique. Specimen samples obtained by wall suction will be collected at 2 time points following intubation.
Blood samples will be obtained at 2 time points, simultaneous with the collection of the tracheal specimens.
