  2. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    An endotracheal tube is a specific type of tracheal tube that is nearly always inserted through the mouth (orotracheal) or nose (nasotracheal). It is a breathing conduit designed to be placed into the airway of critically injured, ill or anesthetized patients in order to perform mechanical positive pressure ventilation of the lungs and to ...

    An endotracheal tube is a specific type of tracheal tube that is nearly always inserted through the mouth (orotracheal) or nose (nasotracheal). A tracheostomy tube is another type of tracheal tube; this 50–75-millimetre-long (2.0–3.0 in) curved metal or plastic tube may be inserted into a tracheostomy stoma (following a tracheotomy ) to ...

  5. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    The most widely used route is orotracheal, in which an endotracheal tube is passed through the mouth and vocal apparatus into the trachea. In a nasotracheal procedure, an endotracheal tube is passed through the nose and vocal apparatus into the trachea. Alternatives to standard endotracheal tubes include laryngeal tube and combitube. [citation ...

  6. Mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_ventilation

    Positive-pressure ventilators work by increasing the patient's airway pressure through an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. The positive pressure allows air to flow into the airway until the ventilator breath is terminated. Then, the airway pressure drops to zero, and the elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs push the tidal volume — the ...

  7. Combitube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combitube

    The Combitube's ease of use makes it an option for use in the pre-hospital, emergency setting when advanced level providers capable of placing an endotracheal tube are not immediately available. The drawbacks of Combitubes are evidenced by reports of serious complications such as aspiration, esophagus perforation [ 3 ] and cranial nerve ...
