Airway and breathing

The time for being
subjective is over.

Capnography provides an objective tool for assessing respiratory status and is one of the most reliable methods in confirming, monitoring and documenting ET tube placement.

Reading the waves

Even a slight movement can cause the ET tube to become dislodged or misplaced, which can lead to severe consequences. Using waveform capnography can help medical professional determine if the tube has become misplaced or with a sudden loss of waveform, the ET tube may have been disconnected, kinked or obstructed.
