Another portable quantitative capnometer.
A new portable quantitative capnometer (Bruker CO2 Module) was tested in an animal lab (mini-pigs) during experiments on air embolism. The end-tidal CO2 values, as measured with this device, showed good agreement with the values of a stationary capnography unit. This device seems suited for quantitative capnometry in the prehospital setting.
