What is an Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube)?

Product Category:

Anesthesia Equipment

Indicated Use:

An Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube) is a flexible tube that can be inserted into the trachea through the mouth or nose in order to establish an open airway and facilitate mechanical ventilation. This instrument is commonly used during surgeries, emergency situations, or for patients requiring prolonged ventilatory support.

The proper placement of the ET tube is crucial, as it allows for the delivery of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide. It is essential to regularly monitor and maintain the tube position for proper ventilation and patient safety.

ET tubes are available in different types, including standard, preformed, and reinforced, and are produced for the oral, nasal, or through either route. It is available in a wide range of diameters, from an inner diameter of 2.5mm to 10mm, to accommodate different patient anatomies. The tube can be produced as either cuffed or uncuffed, with the cuff acting as a seal to prevent air leakage and aspiration.

Endotracheal Tubes (ET Tubes) are manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma in facilities located in China, India, and the USA. These factories strictly adhere to the rigorous regulations required for CE/ISO certification, ensuring the highest quality, safety, and efficiency of our medical products.

Cuff

Standard

Standard endotracheal tube is commonly used for oral intubation. It is manufactured from clear, flexible plastic.

The tube is available in different sizes to ensure proper fit and accommodate various patient anatomies. Depending on the specific needs of the procedure, the tube can be cuffed or uncuffed, which provides options for controlling airflow and preventing aspiration.

Preformed

Preformed endotracheal tubes are specially designed to match the anatomical contours of the patient's airway. This design is particularly useful in cases where patients have challenging airway anatomy or during procedures that require specific positioning or angulation. The preformed shape of the tube helps to ensure the proper placement and secure airway management.

Reinforced

Reinforced endotracheal tube features an added layer of wire within the tube wall, which offers enhanced rigidity and prevents the tube from kinking or compressing. This reinforcement helps to maintain a consistent flow of gases during ventilation.

Reinforced endotracheal tubes are suitable for situations when there is a need for improved stability and durability, such as during long-term intubation or a procedure that requires frequent repositioning of the patient.

Oral/Nasal

Oral/Nasal endotracheal tubes can be inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea. The versatility of these tubes allows healthcare professionals to choose the most suitable route based on individual patient anatomy and specific clinical requirements.

It is important to note that the intubation technique may differ depending on the route chosen. A patient's airway must be carefully assessed before choosing the appropriate route to ensure effective and safe intubation.

Oral

Oral endotracheal tubes can be inserted through the mouth into the trachea. These tubes are available in different sizes and shapes in order to accommodate many types of patient anatomies and clinical needs.

Depending on the specific requirements of the procedure, oral endotracheal tubes can be either cuffed or uncuffed.

"Nasal endotracheal tubes are inserted through the nose into the trachea. They offer an alternative route for airway management and may be used in patients who cannot tolerate oral intubation or when access to the mouth is restricted, such as in certain surgical procedures or cases of facial trauma.

Cuffed

Cuffed ET tube has a small balloon-like structure at the distal end that can be inflated with air to create a seal around the trachea. The cuff is designed to prevent air leakage during mechanical ventilation and to reduce the risk of aspiration of fluids or secretions from the oropharynx or stomach.

Uncuffed

Uncuffed ET tube does not have an inflatable cuff at the distal end and relies on the natural seal of the trachea to prevent air leakage. It is commonly used in pediatric patients or in situations where a cuffed tube may not be necessary, such as during short-term procedures or in patients with normal lung function.

Uses

What is an Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube) used for?

It's used to establish and maintain an open airway during surgery, emergencies, or for intensive care settings.

How is an Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube) used?

The ET tube should be carefully inserted into the patient's trachea while being guided by direct visualization or with the help of a medical device, such as a laryngoscope. Once in place, the cuff of the tube, if present, should be inflated to create a seal and secure it in the trachea.

Are there any special storage instructions for Endotracheal Tubes (ET Tube)?

ET tubes should be stored away from direct sunlight or any extreme temperatures. They should be kept in their original packaging or in a suitable container to protect them from potential contamination and damage.

How should ET tubes be disposed of after use?

ET tubes are usually considered biohazardous waste and should be disposed of in designated containers for medical waste. It is important to follow institutional protocols and local regulations for the safe disposal of used ET tubes.

FAQs

What type of Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube) should be used?

Standard ET tubes provide a basic option for airway management. They are versatile and require manual shaping during intubation. Preformed ET tubes have a predetermined curve similar to the natural anatomy of the airway. These tubes facilitate easier and more accurate placement, which helps reduce the need for extensive adjustments. Reinforced ET tubes have an additional layer of reinforcement embedded within the tube wall, adding strength and rigidity to minimize the risk of kinking or collapsing during complex procedures.

What are the benefits of cuffed or uncuffed ET Tubes?

Cuffed tubes are commonly used in surgeries, critical care settings, and situations requiring positive pressure ventilation. Uncuffed ET tubes lack an inflatable cuff and rely on a precise fit between the tube and the tracheal wall. They are suitable for certain pediatric cases, patients with smaller airways, or when cuff-related complications are a concern.
