A carbon dioxide detector is used to confirm the exchange of air during resuscitation.? It can be placed on a Bag Valve Mask just before the mask during CPR.

A CO2 detector is an extra measure of safety for endotracheal intubation. Attach the?CO2 detector to the endotracheal tube and begin monitoring CO2 levels with breath to breath response. A color change between inspiration and expiration helps you verify proper tube placement in seconds.
