An endotracheal tube is a specific type of tracheal tube that is nearly always inserted through the mouth (orotracheal) or nose (nasotracheal).
Tracheal tubes can also be used to deliver oxygen in higher concentrations than found in air, or to administer other gases such as helium, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, xenon, or certain volatile anesthetic agents such as desflurane, isoflurane, or sevoflurane. Tracheal tubes may also be used as a route for administration of certain medications such as salbutamol, atropine, epinephrine, ipratropium, and lidocaine. Tracheal tubes are commonly used for airway management in the settings of general anesthesia, critical care, mechanical ventilation, and emergency medicine.
Application Method
1. Choose appropriate size of endotracheal tube
2. (Endotracheal tube with cuff) Before inserting the tube, evacuate the empty cuff to avoid the damage to cuff, after inserting the tube, inflate it to the maximum volume to ensure efficient seal.
3. After inflating, check the two lungs immediately, if the breath sounds disappear in single lung or even two lungs, please adjust the position of endotracheal tube according to the requirements.
4. When applying the endotracheal tube, please use breast radio chart to find the position of the tip of endotracheal tube.
