The American journal of emergency medicine · 2001-04-28 · Method & validation

Abstract

A portable quantitative microstream capnometer (NPB-75) was tested in intubated children. The end-tidal CO(2) values measured by this device showed good agreement with concomitantly measured values of a stationary mainstream capnometer (N-6000). This lightweight device, with a 4-hour battery life, graphic capnogram display, and audiovisual alarms is well suited for the prehospital setting.
