The system further including a monitoring device communicatively coupled to the airflow sensors and the physiological sensors. The patient monitoring device comprising at least one processor coupled to memory and configured to: provide a user interface on a display and assist the rescuer in determining proper placement of an endotracheal tube, receive the data indicative of the airflow in the patient's airway, receive the physiological information regarding the airflow in the patient's lungs, and determine whether the tube is properly placed based on the received physiological information, and present an output of the determination of whether the ET tube was properly placed.

A patient airway dome including an adjustable frame having a hinge such that the hinge allows the frame to adjust between an erected position to create an airway dome and a collapsed position that allows the frame to lay flat, a dome covering located over the retractable frame, a suction port which is connected to a conventional device in order to provide negative pressure to patient airway dome, and an arm access assembly operatively connected to the dome covering, wherein the arm access assembly includes an opening in the dome covering and a closure assembly located adjacent to the opening.

A ventilation monitoring system for assisting in proper placement of an endotracheal tube in a subject includes: a capnography sensor configured to be placed in fluid communication with the endotracheal tube and to provide information representative of the subject's breath; and a processor in communication with the capnography sensor. The processor is configured to provide an indication of proper endotracheal tube placement when (1) a first indication of the subject's breath and a positive result of a first auscultation are identified within a first predetermined time period, and (2) a second indication of the subject's breath and a positive result of a second auscultation are identified within a second predetermined time period. The first auscultation includes auscultation of a subject's left lung, right lung, left axillary region, right axillary region, or abdomen. The second auscultation includes auscultation of another region of the subject different from the first auscultation.

An apparatus and method for resuscitating a patient suffering from cardiac arrest or another condition in which normal circulation has been interrupted. A ventilator is used for delivering a gas mixture to the patient. The ventilator is configured to adjust the partial pressure of CO2 to one or more partial pressures high enough to slow expiration of CO2 from the patient's lungs and thereby maintain a reduced pH in the patient's tissues for a period of time following return of spontaneous circulation.

An end-expiratory CO.sub.2 guided tracheal intubation apparatus includes: an intubation tube, an end-expiratory CO.sub.2 catheter, a suction tube, an airbag and an inflation tube. The end-expiratory CO.sub.2 catheter partially penetrates the sidewall of the intubation tube, one end of the end-expiratory CO.sub.2 catheter extends beyond an end of the intubation tube, and the other end is connected to an end-expiratory CO.sub.2 sensor, the suction tube partially penetrates a sidewall of the intubation tube, one end of the liquid suction tube extends beyond an end of the intubation tube, the other end is connected to an air pump, the airbag sleeves the outer wall of the intubation tube, the inflation tube partially penetrates the sidewall of the intubation tube, one end thereof is connected to the airbag, and the other end is connected to the air supply device.

An expandable endotracheal tube includes a shaft that has an airway. The expandable endotracheal tube also includes an expandable segment mounted to a distal end of the shaft. The expandable segment includes an expandable membrane and a constant force spring positioned within the expandable membrane. The constant force spring has a compressed configuration to allow for placement of the expandable endotracheal tube within a patient and an expanded configuration in which the expandable membrane forms a seal with a trachea of the patient to enable positive pressure ventilation.

An add-on device and method for an Endo-Tracheal Tube (ETT), the add-on device including a lengthy body having a major arc-shaped cross section sized and shaped to tightly fit over an ETT, at least one longitudinal cavity passing along the lengthy body, including a distal suction cavity ending with a suction inlet at a distal end of the lengthy body; and a distal suction outlet channel extending from a proximal end of the lengthy body, the channel is a continuous extension of the distal suction cavity and configured to provide suction to the distal suction cavity. The add-on device senses moisture at a distal end of the add-on device, and in case of detection of excessive wetness, provides suction to the distal end of the device through a cavity passing along the device, the suction is provided via a suction outlet channel extending from a proximal end of the device.

A capnography system includes a CO.sub.2 sensing system having a CO.sub.2 sensor configured to measure a CO.sub.2 concentration in exhaled breath of a subject, a processor configured to derive one or more breath related parameters based on the measured CO.sub.2 concentration, and a communication unit. The capnography system includes a tubing system configured to allow flow of respiratory gasses therethrough. The tubing system includes a connector configured to connect the tubing system to the CO.sub.2 sensing system and a communication component configured to provide an indication of a type of the tubing system to the communication unit. The communication unit is configured to transfer data to the processor based on the indication obtained from the communication component, and the processor is configured to change or suggest a change of an operation mode of the CO.sub.2 sensing system based on the data.

The present invention discloses an auxiliary visible light rod for multisource end-expiratory CO.sub.2 monitoring. The auxiliary visible light rod comprises a handle, a pump body, a medicine compartment, a rod body and a bracket. The handle is separately connected with the medicine compartment, the pump body and the rod body, and one end of the rod body is connected with a rod head. A lamp and an atomizing head are arranged in the rod head. A circuit tube is connected with the external wall of the rod body, one end of the circuit tube is connected with a display screen, and the other end of the circuit tube is connected with a camera in the rod head. The bracket sleeves the rod body and is fixed to the outer side of an oral cavity or a chin of a patient, and thus the stability of the rod body is improved.
