What Is The Typical Endotracheal Tube?

Introduction

Disposable endotracheal tube is a device used for breathing, anesthesia and first aid. It is mainly used to maintain airway patency and assist breathing. It is usually made of a flexible tube with one end connected to the ventilator or anesthesia machine and the other end inserted into the patient's airway.

Features

First of all, it is single-use, which avoids the risk of cross-infection and ensures patient safety.

Secondly, it has a soft material, which can reduce irritation and damage to the patient's airway.

In addition, the disposable endotracheal tube also has the characteristics of high transparency, easy operation, and no need for cleaning and disinfection, making it convenient for medical staff to use.

Single-use endotracheal tubes usually consist of multiple components. Mainly including catheters, balloons, connectors and markers, etc. The catheter is the main part inserted into the patient's airway and is usually made of soft material to reduce irritation to the airway. A balloon is located at one end of the catheter and is used to inflate to hold the catheter in place. Connectors are used to connect catheters to ventilators or anesthesia machines. Markings are often used to identify the size and other relevant information of the catheter.

Disposable endotracheal tube can be divided into various types according to different needs and usage scenarios. Common types include adult type, pediatric type and neonatal type, and the appropriate type is selected according to the patient's age and body shape. In addition, there are some special types of endotracheal tube, such as double-lumen balloon intubation and high-pressure balloon intubation, for use in special circumstances.

Function

1.Respiratory support: Disposable endotracheal tube can be inserted into the patient's trachea to ensure a clear airway, allowing oxygen and anesthetic drugs to smoothly enter the patient's lungs and provide respiratory support.

2.Anesthesia management: During the operation, one-time use of endotracheal tube can help doctors manage anesthesia for patients. Through intubation, doctors can control the patient's breathing and anesthesia status to ensure the safety and smoothness of the surgical process.

3.Airway protection: Disposable endotracheal tube can protect the patient's airway from the risk of aspiration and foreign body obstruction. After intubation, the airway is effectively isolated to prevent vomitus, secretions, etc. from entering the airway and reduce the patient's risk of complications.

4.First aid measures: During the first aid process, the one-time use of endotracheal tube can quickly establish the patient's airway, ensure that oxygen can be delivered to the lungs in time, and provide first aid support. It can be used for airway management in emergency situations such as cardiac arrest and severe breathing difficulties.

Clinical application

In clinical applications, disposable endotracheal tubes are widely used in anesthesia, surgery, first aid and other scenarios. During anesthesia, intubation can ensure the patient's airway is open and maintain normal respiratory function. During surgery, intubation can provide adequate oxygen supply and ensure the patient's blood oxygen saturation. In first aid, intubation can quickly establish a clear airway, ensure the patient's respiratory function, and provide a time window for subsequent treatment. The use of disposable endotracheal tube requires medical personnel to have relevant operating skills and knowledge. Before use, the cannula needs to be checked for integrity and size for the patient. During insertion, care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the patient's mouth, throat, and trachea. After intubation, the position and patency of the intubation also need to be checked regularly to ensure that the patient's respiratory function is normal.

Precautions

1.Select the appropriate size: Select the appropriate endotracheal tube size according to the patient's age, gender and physical characteristics to ensure the fit and ventilation effect of the intubation.

2.Disinfection and aseptic handling: Before use, ensure that the endotracheal tube has been properly disinfected and aseptic to reduce the risk of infection.

3.Intubation technique: During the intubation process, it is necessary to master the correct intubation technique to ensure the accuracy and safety of intubation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the angle and depth of intubation to avoid accidentally injuring the tracheal wall or causing poor intubation.

4.Monitoring and adjustment: After intubation, the patient's breathing and oxygen saturation need to be monitored in a timely manner and adjusted as necessary to ensure the patient's ventilation and oxygenation status.

5.Disposal after use: Disposable endotracheal tubes should be discarded immediately after use and must not be reused. At the same time, waste must be disposed of properly and comply with relevant environmental protection and medical waste disposal regulations.
