  • Carbon dioxide monitor
    Patent number: 5472668
    Abstract: The monitor which provides a detectable indication of the presence of an elevated proportion of carbon dioxide compared to that in normal ambient air, comprises a substrate coated by an intimate mixture of a transparent plasticised polymer vehicle, and an indicator material which undergoes a colour change on exposure to carbon dioxide. The indicator material comprises a salt of an indicator anion and a lipophilic organic quaternary cation. The device can be used to provide an indication of correct intubation of the trachea of a patient.
