Endotracheal tubes with cuffs are used in general anesthesia, as well as in intensive care units to ensure free patency of the airways. They are inserted into the patient's trachea through the nasal or oral opening in the most atraumatic way possible.
Sterile, disposable endotracheal tubes are used for naso- and orotracheal intubation. They are made from transparent, non-toxic polyvinyl chloride without phthalate and latex - the tubes are durable, flexible and elastic, do not cause allergic reactions in the patient's body, and maintain free patency even with strong kinks. A special cuff protects the lungs from stomach contents and significantly reduces the risk of an allergic reaction and mechanical damage.
A characteristic feature of endotracheal tubes is the presence of a cylindrical cuff - it significantly reduces the level of pressure on the surface of the patient's trachea during intubation. A special strip of radiopaque material is built into the surface structure - it allows the doctor to accurately determine the location of the tube. Thanks to its rigidity and elasticity, the tube is easily inserted into the respiratory tract, and then, under the influence of the patient’s body temperature, takes on the most comfortable anatomical shape. There is a Murphy window at the distal end of the endotracheal tube, and the end itself is rounded for maximum comfortable and atraumatic intubation.
The main technical characteristic of endotracheal tubes is their diameter. For most adult patients, models with an internal diameter of eight millimeters or more are more suitable - they have a lower level of resistance to the flow of the respiratory mixture, greatly facilitate the aspiration of secretions, allow doctors to use bronchoscopes, and can also assist in stopping artificial ventilation.
For children over the age of one year, the diameter of the tube is calculated using a simple formula - (age of the child in years + 16) / 4. For example, for a four-year-old patient, the endotracheal tube should have a diameter of five millimeters. For a tube with a cuff, the total value is reduced by 0.50.
