   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 ...

5. High-frequency ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_ventilation

   HFJV employs an endotracheal tube adaptor in place for the normal 15 mm ET tube adaptor. A high pressure "jet" of gas flows out of the adaptor and into the airway. This jet of gas occurs for a very brief duration, about 0.02 seconds, and at high-frequency: 4-11 hertz. Tidal volumes ≤ 1 ml/Kg are used during HFJV.

6. Tracheotomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheotomy

   Tracheotomy tubes and endotracheal tubes are often attached to ventilators to assist in breathing. In the chronic (long-term) setting, indications for tracheotomy include the need for long-term mechanical ventilation and tracheal toilet (e.g., comatose patients, extensive surgery involving the head and neck).

   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 ...

9. Cricothyrotomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricothyrotomy

   A tracheostomy tube or endotracheal tube with a 6 or 7 mm internal diameter is then inserted, the cuff is inflated, and the tube is secured. The person performing the procedure might utilize a bougie device, a semi-rigid, straight piece of plastic with a 25-mm tip at a 30-degree angle, to provide rigidity to the tube and assist with guiding its ...
