ABSTRACT:
A carbon dioxide detector for determining the correct location of an endotracheal tube following intubation of a patient. The detector includes a housing with a first tubular member for connection to a endotracheal tube or the like, a second tubular member for connection to an anaesthetic circuit and an indicator to indicate the presence of carbon dioxide in the detector. Preferably the indicator is in the form of a transparent disc which sealingly engages an aperture in the housing, the disc having a chemical substance which provides a colour change indication when exposed to carbon dioxide from a patient.
