Reinforced endotracheal tube with cuff

The tracheal tube is designed to:

– Secure airways or perform mechanical ventilation of patients in a short time during general anesthesia.

– Keep the airways open and help prevent suffocation.

– To open your airways so you can receive anesthesia, medicine, or oxygen.

– To protect the lungs

– If your breathing stops or you have difficulty breathing

– When you have a head injury and cannot breathe on your own

– You need to be sedated for a period of time to recover from a serious injury or illness.

Main Features

• Made of special thermosensitive material that easily adapts to body curvatures at body temperature.
• Proximal end equipped with standard 15 mm connector.
• X-ray opaque line on the tube to facilitate easy location.

Instructions for use:

• Preparation
  • Before placing an endotracheal tube, you should remove jewelry, especially tongue piercings. People should not eat or drink before surgery for at least six hours to reduce the risk of aspiration during intubation.
  • During the procedure
  • An endotracheal tube is often placed when a patient is unconscious. If a patient is conscious, medications are used to relieve anxiety while the tube is placed and until it is removed.
• Intubation
  • During intubation, the doctor usually stands at the head of the bed, facing the patient's feet and with the patient lying down. The position will vary depending on the environment and whether the procedure is performed on an adult or a child. In children, a jaw thrust is often used.
  • The endotracheal tube with the help of an illuminated laryngoscope is introduced through the mouth, after removing the tongue; The endoscope is then carefully inserted between the vocal cords and into the lower trachea.
  • When the endotracheal tube is thought to be in the proper location, the doctor will listen to the patient's lungs and upper abdomen to make sure the endotracheal tube has not been inadvertently inserted into the esophagus. Other signs that suggest the tube is in the proper position may include seeing chest movement with ventilation and fogging in the tube.
  • When the doctor is reasonably sure that the tube is in position, a balloon is inflated to prevent the tube from slipping out of place. (In babies, a balloon may not be needed.) The tube is then taped to the patient's face.
  • Immediately after inflating the cuff, listen to both lung fields.
• After the procedure
  • Once the endotracheal tube is in place and the patient is connected to a ventilator, healthcare providers will continue to monitor the tubes, settings, and provide breathing treatments and suctioning as needed. Special attention will also be given to oral care.
• Endotracheal tube removal
  • The tape holding the endotracheal tube to the face is removed, the cuff is deflated, and the tube is removed.
