Anesthesia Endotracheal

Endotracheal anesthesia is a type of general anesthesia in which a special tube is inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to administer anesthetics. This method allows complete control of the patient's breathing during anesthesia.

During endotracheal anesthesia, the anesthesiologist inserts a special tube (endotracheal tube) into the trachea through the mouth or nose. This tube delivers a mixture of anesthetics and oxygen, causing loss of consciousness. In addition, artificial ventilation of the lungs using a ventilator can be carried out through the tube.

Advantages of endotracheal anesthesia:

1. Full control of breathing during anesthesia.

2. Ability to perform operations in the head, neck, and chest areas.

3. Protection of the respiratory tract from aspiration of gastric contents.

4. Precise control of the depth of anesthesia.

Endotracheal anesthesia is often used for extensive and long-term surgical procedures. It provides reliable monitoring of the patient's vital functions during surgery.

Anesthetic drug anesthesia. It is a set of measures consisting of supplying the patient with gases (oxygen and nitrous oxide) containing medications and providing general anesthesia. Depending on the medications used, general methods of anesthesia are divided into inhalation and non-inhalation. In the Russian Federation, the term “inhalation anesthesia” is most often used as borrowed from the international register and approved for use in documents of specialists corresponding to the profile, especially anesthesiologists-resuscitators, surgeons, and emergency physicians. In the USA the term "Artificial respiration" or "General anesthesia" is used.
