Needle decompression is one of the first line treatments for tension pneumothorax but healthcare providers have long faced a fundamental challenge... How to confirm a successful needle placement in chaotic, noisy environments where listening for a "rush of air" is almost impossible.
The Capnospot by changes that. This compact, lightweight device attaches to your decompression needle and changes colour from blue to yellow when carbon dioxide is detected, for immediate visual confirmation.
