Quality Improvement: Diagnostic Accuracy of Mainstream Versus Sidestream Capnography in Detecting Airway Intubation of Small‐Bore Styleted Nasoenteric Feeding Tubes in Dogs and Cats
Sidestream capnography is able to detect misplacement of small-bore, styleted feeding tubes into the respiratory tract of dogs and cats regardless of patient size. This technique shows promise as a tool to reduce respiratory complications of feeding tube placement in veterinary patients.
