PVC 4.5mm Pediatric Nasal Intubation Tube Size Rae Endotracheal Tube

Description:

Preformed Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed is a method of inserting a special endotracheal tube into the trachea or bronchus through the mouth or nasal cavity.

 Composition and function of Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed:

The oral PVC endotracheal tube is a medical device used to establish and maintain a clear airway in patients requiring respiratory support or anesthesia. It is inserted through the oral cavity and into the trachea, providing a direct pathway for the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide.

Features:

Material: The tube is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a flexible and biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the body.

Cuffed or Uncuffed: Oral PVC endotracheal tubes can be either cuffed or uncuffed. Cuffed tubes have an inflatable balloon at the distal end to create a seal against the tracheal wall, preventing air leakage and aspiration. Uncuffed tubes do not have a cuff and are typically used for short-term intubation or in patients where cuff inflation is not necessary or desirable.

Reinforced Tip: The tip of the tube is reinforced to provide rigidity and facilitate atraumatic insertion into the trachea. The reinforced tip helps prevent kinking or buckling, ensuring smooth passage through the airway.

Depth Markings: The tube is marked with depth markings to assist in determining the appropriate insertion depth and to ensure the tube is positioned correctly within the trachea.

Radiopaque Marker: The tube features a radiopaque marker along its length, allowing for accurate positioning and visualization under fluoroscopy or X-ray. This aids in confirming proper placement of the tube within the trachea.

Benefits:

Biocompatibility: PVC is a biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.

Flexibility: PVC is a flexible material that conforms to the anatomy of the airway, minimizing the risk of trauma during insertion and extubation.

Reinforced Tip: The reinforced tip facilitates atraumatic insertion and helps prevent kinking or buckling, ensuring smooth passage through the airway.

Depth Markings and Radiopaque Marker: Depth markings and a radiopaque marker aid in accurate placement and visualization of the tube, reducing the risk of complications.

Indications:

Conclusion:

The oral PVC endotracheal tube is a versatile and widely used medical device for establishing and maintaining a clear airway in patients requiring respiratory support or anesthesia. Its biocompatibility, flexibility, reinforced tip, and depth markings contribute to safe and effective intubation. The tube is indicated for use in a variety of clinical scenarios, but its use may be contraindicated in certain situations. Healthcare professionals must carefully assess each patient's condition and consider the potential risks and benefits before selecting the appropriate endotracheal tube for intubation.

 Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed Application Features:

1. Preformed tube helps to reduce the risk of kinking.
2. Improved access to the operative field, because the connections lie outside this area.
3. Tip-to-Tip X-ray line allows for safe positioning control.
4. Specially moulded hooded tip to assist intubation and to help to provide high patient safety and comfort.
5. High volume/low pressure cuff helps to ensure an efficient low pressure cuff seal.
6. Murphy eye incorporated as an additional safety feature.
