20. Esophageal intubation

[@nil5147]

Not value..I am asking wave number

[@nil5147]

How many waves of capnography are needed to ensure ETCO2 is correct after ET intubation ?

[@ICAAcademics]

Literature says, oesophageal intubation often results in a series of waveforms, of decreasing height, and not usually more than six in total, before becoming a flat line trace. Therefore at least 4-6 consistent capno tracings would be needed to confirm tracheal tube placement.
