Colorimetric end-tidal carbon dioxide detectors in the delivery room: strengths and limitations. A case report

C Omar F Kamlin et al. J Pediatr. 2005 Oct.

Abstract

Clinical assessment and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) detectors are used to verify tracheal intubation in newborn infants. A case is presented in which an ETCO2 detector was misleading in determining endotracheal tube (ETT) position but useful in determining the efficacy of ventilation in an extremely preterm infant.
