Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method or system for providing an indication or establishment of airway patency of a patient comprising monitoring of at least one targeted gas (e.g. CO2, N2 or may be other gases capable of being detected, monitored, and measured) that is being expired or being expelled from an airway of a patient (e.g. an apnoeic or non-spontaneously breathing patient), and based on measurements of the at least one targeted gas for a period of time, providing an indicator as to an output of the measurements of the at least one targeted gas for the period of time, or a determination as to airway patency, or a determination as to a location of a blockage or obstruction in the airway, or combinations of these.
