"To protect against unrecognized esophageal intubation, confirmation of tube placement by an expired CO2 ...detection device is necessary.”
AHA Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, Part 6, p. I-101


Timing is critical in emergency situations. The C-CO2™ confirms proper placement of the tracheal tube. For use in the ER, ICU and transport.

“Tracheal intubation is suggested, but may not be confirmed by: bilateral breath sounds...(and) sounds over the epigastrium....Tracheal intubation is confirmed by the detection of CO2 in the exhaled gas.”
AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines Management of Airway Emergencies. Respiratory Care, 1995, V 40: p. 749
