1st Eurasian International Congress on Emergency Medicine 5th – 9th Nov 2008 at Antalya Turkey NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Protocol) Guidelines 2006. Consensuses on sciences; Exhaled CO2 detection is reliable indicator of ETT placement in infants and it identifies esophageal intubation faster than clinical assessment. NRP recommends using exhaled CO2 detection to confirm tracheal tube placement * (Aziz J perinatol 1999, Bhende, Pediatrics 1995, Repetto, J Perinatol 2001, Roberts, Pediatric Pulmonl 1995)

Algorithm to confirm Tube Position : 

1st Eurasian International Congress on Emergency Medicine 5th – 9th Nov 2008 at Antalya Turkey Algorithm to confirm Tube Position

Conclusion : 

1st Eurasian International Congress on Emergency Medicine 5th – 9th Nov 2008 at Antalya Turkey Conclusion Confirmation of proper tracheal tube placement is as important as successful intubation. Exhaled CO2 detection is reliable and should be considered the standard for confirmation of tracheal placement of an ETT and for early detection of accidental esophageal intubation.

Conclusion : 

1st Eurasian International Congress on Emergency Medicine 5th – 9th Nov 2008 at Antalya Turkey Conclusion The Emergency Physician should make sure the availability of ET CO2 detection devices in ER and with EMS team when they are in the field. They should also ensure usage of confirmation devices by the concerned persons
