Avoiding unrecognised oesophageal intubation
The @RCoA & @dasairway have agreed to drop ‘no trace wrong place’
The message now is that we need to exclude oesophageal intubation by identifying SUSTAINED EXHALED CO2
This requires 4 elements
-CO2 rises & falls with respiration
-sustained (non-fading, >7 cycles)
-amplitude >1 KPa
-clinically appropriate
It replaces ‘no trace wrong place’ which is insufficient & therefore inadequate
See these two updated webpages

Another amazing display by the RAF Red Arrows. Our doctor, paramedic and pilot team are off to provide advanced pre-hospital care to someone on their very worst day, because we care from the bottom of our hearts.
Beachside, Roadside, Countryside, day and night we are by your side
Feeling very reflective today having finished my employment with SECAmb and completed my last shift. Amazing service and locality to work in. Loads of love for the Dartford OU staff.
