Endotracheal Tube

An endotracheal tube is a special medical instrument that allows intubation of a patient’s trachea after emergency care for various severe conditions.

This procedure may be required in cases of acute respiratory failure, also known as lung collapse. In simple terms, this means that the patient's lung tissue begins to fail or not receive the oxygen the body needs to breathe. As a result, the person loses consciousness, his respiratory function sharply weakens, his breathing rate is disrupted, and the patient requires urgent help. In order to carry out this event correctly, you need to insert a tube into the trachea, through which air will flow into the lungs. This manipulation is carried out strictly under anesthesia. It is important that this procedure is of high quality, because the patient’s life depends on it. That is why no qualified doctor can do without tracheal intubation. The procedure is considered complex and quite serious. It must be used in cases of severe injuries, stroke, drowning and other life-threatening situations. Intubation is also used in resuscitation and to maintain ventilation. The “tool” can be a conventional intubation tubular system or an endotracheal system, which is used if the patient’s condition requires more careful care. The process of bronchial intubation is carried out quickly and is controlled by a specialist. It is important to select the correct tube diameter. Measurements must be carried out individually, depending on the patient’s physique, and
