🚨We have retired "no trace, wrong place" to align with PUMA guidelines.
Instead, with @Assoc_Anaes and @dasairway, our message is if sustained exhaled CO2 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be excluded.

How many capnography variants do you encounter every day?
We show worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use. This has a big impact on patient safety. We should urgently implement the SALG standard.
