Product Specification

High quality non-toxic transparent smooth surgical endotracheal tube with 15 mm standard connector

Product description

The endotracheal tube is a vital medical device used in airway management and mechanical ventilation in various healthcare settings. Here is a detailed description of this critical product:

Purpose and Function:

• The endotracheal tube is a flexible plastic tube inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to establish and maintain an open airway.
• It is used to assist with breathing, provide mechanical ventilation, deliver oxygen, and administer medications directly into the lungs.

Design and Construction:

• Made from medical-grade materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone, the tube is smooth, flexible, and radiopaque for easy visualization during insertion.
• It features an inflatable cuff near the distal end to secure the tube in the trachea and prevent aspiration.
• Available in various sizes to accommodate different patient age groups and anatomical requirements.

Key Features:

• Cuff Inflation System: Allows for cuff inflation and deflation to create an airtight seal within the trachea.
• Murphy Eye: A lateral opening near the tip of the tube ensures airflow if the main opening becomes obstructed.
• Radio-Opaque Line: Enables visualization of the tube's position on imaging studies.
• Connector: Facilitates attachment to ventilation equipment and other respiratory devices.

Applications:

• Intubation: Used during emergency situations, surgeries, and in intensive care units to secure the airway and facilitate mechanical ventilation.
• Respiratory Support: Provides oxygenation and ventilation support for patients with respiratory failure or compromised airways.
• Medication Administration: Enables direct administration of medications, such as bronchodilators or antibiotics, into the lungs.

Usage Guidelines:

• Inserted by trained medical professionals using laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy techniques to ensure proper placement.
• Regular cuff pressure monitoring to prevent complications like pressure injuries or aspiration.
• Routine suctioning to maintain airway patency and prevent mucus buildup.

Benefits:

• Ensures airway patency and oxygenation in critically ill patients.
• Facilitates mechanical ventilation and respiratory support.
• Enables effective medication delivery directly to the lungs.
• Essential tool in airway management during surgeries and emergencies.
• The endotracheal tube is a crucial device in critical care and emergency medicine, providing life-saving airway management and respiratory support for patients requiring ventilatory assistance.

FAQ

1.What is the use of endobronchial tube?
Double-lumen endobronchial tube
A double-lumen endotracheal tube (also called double-lumen endobronchial tube or DLT) is a type of endotracheal tube which is used in tracheal intubation during thoracic surgery and other medical conditions to achieve selective, one-sided ventilation of either the right or the left lung.

In its simplest form, the endotracheal tube is a tube constructed of polyvinyl chloride that is placed between the vocal cords through the trachea. It provides oxygen and inhaled gases to the lungs and protects them from contamination, such as gastric contents or blood.
 

2.What is endobronchial intubation?
Endobronchial intubation is the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in either the left or right mainstem bronchus. Unintentional endobronchial, or “mainstem,” intubation can lead to high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia.

3.What size are endobronchial tubes?
When seen in cross-section, each tube is D shaped. They come in different sizes — 26 Fr, 28 Fr, 32 Fr, 35 Fr, 37 Fr, 39 Fr, and 41 Fr. A 26 Fr DLT can be used in children over the age of 8 years.
 

4.How to use an endobronchial tube?
The distal, bronchial tube is held with the tip directed upward. As it passes through the glottis, the stylet is removed and the tube is advanced and rotated 90 degrees (towards the side to be intubated) until resistance is felt; this depth is usually between 28 and 30 cm.
