The nursing intervention that will most effectively confirm the installation of an endotracheal utilizes an end-tital CO2 detector (ett).

The presence of CO2 is indicated by a color shift or a number (A) on the end-tital CO2 detector, which is proof that the ET has located in the trachea and not the esophagus. The efficacy of ventilation & oxygenation may be assessed using other evaluations such as breathing noises (B), cardiac oximetry (C), as well as chest movements (D), but these techniques do not monitor CO2 in exhaled breath from the ET.

To maintain the airway open so that oxygen, medication, or anesthesia can be administered. Support breathing while suffering from conditions including pneumonia, emphysema, heart problems, collapsed lungs, or serious trauma.
