1. A medical system for assisting a rescuer with an intubation procedure for a patient, the system comprising:
one or more airflow sensors configured to obtain data indicative of airflow in the patient's airway;
one or more capnography sensors configured to obtain CO2 information regarding airflow in the patient's lungs;
a patient monitoring device communicatively coupled to the one or more airflow sensors and the one or more capnography sensors, the patient monitoring device comprising:
a user interface comprising a display; and
at least one processor and memory configured to:
receive the data indicative of the airflow in the patient's airway,
determine the presence of airflow in the patient's airway based on the received data,
receive the CO2 information regarding the airflow in the patient's lungs,
determine whether the ET tube remains properly placed based on the received CO2 information, and
present to the display of the user interface an output of the determination of whether the ET tube remains properly placed.
