pneumothorax detector Capnospot®

Capnospot® is a device that changes color upon detecting CO₂ and confirms the correct placement of the catheter during pneumothorax decompression.

 
Applications:

• Confirmation of catheter placement and patency during needle decompression in tension pneumothorax.
• Continuous monitoring of catheter patency after decompression.
• Use in patients:
• Self-ventilating with progressive dyspnea, tachycardia, SpO₂ < 90%, hypotension, absent breath sounds, altered consciousness, or traumatic cardiac arrest.
• On mechanical ventilation with decreased compliance, acute hypoxemia, increased ventilatory requirements, subcutaneous emphysema, or unexplained hypotension.
