Continuous ETCO2 monitoring is underutilized in intubated neonates compared to children, adolescents, and adults in the prehospital setting in this study population. This suggests a gap in the standard of care provided to neonates. Additional studies are needed to determine if these results are consistent around the industry and if there is a higher rate of undetected tube displacement in neonates who are transported without waveform capnography.
