The most sensitive and rapid way to confirm correct placement is to detect expired carbon dioxide by means of a capnograph or a color-change capnometric device.A chest radiograph is used to determine proper position with respect to the carina.Chest auscultation is subjective,and referred sounds from the stomach might be confused with breath sounds.Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is another way to confirm placement,but this procedure may take time for preparation.
