A trusted method to confirm correct endotracheal tube placement, the CO2 detector monitors ETCO2 levels with breath-to-breath response on endotracheal tubes.
Functionality and Usage
The Nellcor™ Colourimetric Easy Cap End Tidal CO2 Detector has been meticulously designed for easy application and efficient monitoring. Attach the detector directly to the endotracheal tube or i-gel. Once connected, the device instantly starts tracking ETCO2 levels, offering a breath-to-breath response.
One of its standout features is the indicator window which reacts immediately to exhaled CO2. When the device detects CO2, the window undergoes an evident colour change from purple to yellow. This prompt response ensures that medical practitioners can swiftly and accurately determine the correct placement of an endotracheal tube, minimising risks and potential complications.
Moreover, this detector isn't just limited to confirming tube placement. It is also a vital tool during CPR, helping professionals monitor ETCO2 levels, thereby providing an added layer of safety and precision in emergencies. Whether employed in the hustle and bustle of an emergency department, the critical environment of an ICU, or during field operations, this CO2 detector proves its worth every time.
