Which nursing intervention should the nurse implement that best confirms the placement
of an endotracheal tube?
A) Use an end-tital CO2 detector.
B) Ascultate for bilateral breath sounds.
C) Obtain pulse oximeter reading.
D) Check symmetrical chest movement.
֎ -:- A) Use an end-tital CO2 detector
The end-tital CO2 detector indicates the presence of CO2 by a color change or a number
(A), which is evidence that the ET is in the trachea, not the esophagus. Other assessments,
such as breathe sounds (B), pulse oximetry (C) and chest movement (D), are methods to
evaluate the effectiveness of ventilation and oxygenation, but do not measure CO2 in
expired air from the ET.
