Endotracheal tubes
Areas of application and operational situations
Endotracheal tubes are used to ensure airway control and Ventilation used. Typical application scenarios include intubation during induction of anesthesia, emergency and resuscitation situations, and in intensive care units for invasive procedures Ventilation. In addition, special versions are used for difficult airways, for aspiration prophylaxis or for longer ventilation times. In practice, endotracheal tubes support efficient workflows, reduce the risk of aspication and enable controlled ventilation parameters.
Product types and technical features
The range includes various designs and materials: conventional oral and nasal tubes, with and without cuffs, tubes with subglottic suction options, with curved or spiral-reinforced shafts, and tubes in different lengths and diameters. There are also variants with pre-shaped angles, low-pressure high-volume cuffs, integrated pilot balloons and smoke or X-ray markers for position control. Sterile single-use products and reusable variants are available, as are accessories such as guide rods (stylets), HME filter adapters and fixation systems.
Advantages and quality features
Important quality features include biocompatible materials, reliable cuff sealing, kink-resistant construction and clear size labeling. Sterilely packaged endotracheal tubes facilitate hygienic processes and reduce the risk of infection. Products with subglottic suction provide additional protection against secretion aspiration. Spiral-reinforced tubes prevent collapse during head and neck movements and are therefore advantageous for certain ventilation situations.
Typical product types
- Oral endotracheal tubes with cuff (various sizes)
- Nasal endotracheal tubes
- Spiral-reinforced (armored) tubes
- Endotracheal tubes with subglottic suction function
- Disposable sterile and reusable tubes
Manufacturer and availability
Solutions from manufacturers like Ruffle, Portex and Mallinckrodt cover a wide range and offer variants for routine and special needs. The selection is based on material properties, handling and compatibility with existing ventilation systems.
Note on application
The selection of the suitable endotracheal tube depends on the indication, anatomical conditions and the planned duration of ventilation. Compatible accessories such as stylets, fixation systems and filter adapters contribute to safe, hygienic and efficient processes.
