The current guideline on endotracheal intubation1 indicates that suitable intubation tube sizes for adults are I.D. 7.0, I.D. 7.5, and I.D. 8.0, whereas specification for selecting the optimal tube size is unclear. Karmakar et al. recommend a tube size of I.D. 7.0–8.0 for men, while...
INTUBE Study Patients Flow Through Screening, Enrollment, and Follow-up View LargeDownload aTen patients were excluded because their situation was too urgent for data collection; 2 required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; and 2 were prisoners. bPatients were not reintubated but ...

The size and type of ETT (double lumen vs. single lumen) might also be a contributing factor for sore throat. Non-channeled video laryngoscopes (VLs) performed better in intubation than channeled VLs, videostylets, and direct laryngoscopes, according to a prior network meta-analysis by Kim ...
Appropriate tube depth is usually 21 to 23 cm in adults and 3 times the endotracheal tube size in children (for a 4.0-mm endotracheal tube, 12 cm; for a 5.5-mm endotracheal tube, 16.5 cm). In adults, the tube, if inadvertently advanced, typically migrates into the right mainstem bron...
The tube was too long in 32% of patients, although the tube size was appropriate for the child's age in all patients. The consequences and outcome of this complication are discussed.关键词: Intubation, tracheal complications Equipment DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2044.1991.tb09315.x 被引量: 39 ...
Endotracheal Tube Traditionally, an endotracheal tube size of 7.0 is used for women, while an 8.0 is used for men. Variations in size depend on patients’ height and whether they will require bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy requires at least a 7.5 or 8.0 tube. For children, endotracheal tube size ...
beyond this age group and for all adults, ETTs have an inflatable balloon at the distal end of the tube to form a seal when inflated against the tracheal wall that prevents air leaking around the tube to allow for adequate gas exchange. The cuff also maintains the ETT in the proper posit...
Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 757 adults, bougie use resulted in significantly higher first-attempt intubation success than an endotracheal tube + stylet (96% vs 82%) for those with a difficult airway characteristic. Meaning Although bougie use led to a higher likelih...
size of 40 patients per group was obtained with an alpha error of 0.05 and 80% power. The secondary outcomes include the time to insert the fiberoptic bronchoscope, the railroading time, the total time for correct tube and bronchial blocker positioning, the difficulty of railroading over a ...
