Aim To test the hypothesis that: The black mark at the tip of endotracheal tube guides the optimal insertion distance during neonatal intubation. Background There are several formulae and graphs that are used to calculate the length of orally or nasally inserted endo-tracheal tube (ETT) in a...
An endotracheal tube device is described herein. The device includes a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the distal end having an openin
tube always completely deflated which otherwise creates a dangerous obstruction to exhaled air flow. Warning labels are often indicated in proximity to the patient's bedside and/or chart in order to monitor the balloon of the patient's cuffed tracheostomy tube. Another drawback is the case in ...
In benchtop simulation, the average PIP of the LRAS-ET was significantly lower at all sizes and frequencies. The LRSS-ET consistently demonstrated an increased resistance, although no patterns were observed in turbulence intensity data between both designs. Conclusion: The benchtop model demonstrated ...
