Avoidance of unrecognised oesophageal intubation
Certificate available: complete this course to be awarded a certificate
The College recently received acoroner'sreportwhere an oesophageal intubation took place and was not recognised in time to save the life of the patient. Unrecognised oesophageal intubation is preventable through adherence to published recommendations on the monitoring of exhaled carbon dioxide (capnography) and its correct interpretation.We ask that they always remember 'No Trace = Wrong Place' and actively seek to exclude oesophageal intubation when a flat capnograph trace is encountered.
