Description of Preformed Nasal Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed:

Preformed Nasal Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed is one of the commonest methods used to induce anaesthesia for surgeries of the head and neck region. Nasal Endotracheal involves the tracheal tube to pass through nose hence allowing better isolation and good surgical access for intraoral procedures.

An endotracheal tube (ETT) is a medical device used to establish and maintain an open airway in patients who require mechanical ventilation or general anesthesia. It is inserted into the trachea (windpipe) through the mouth or nose and extends down into the main airway.

Here are some key points about endotracheal tubes:

• Purpose: The primary purpose of an endotracheal tube is to ensure a patent airway, allowing for the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs. It is commonly used during surgeries and in critical care settings.
• Design: Endotracheal tubes are typically made of flexible materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone. They have a curved shape and are available in different sizes to accommodate patients of varying ages and sizes.
• Cuffed and uncuffed tubes: Endotracheal tubes can be cuffed or uncuffed. Cuffed tubes have an inflatable balloon, known as a cuff, near the distal end. When the cuff is inflated, it creates a seal against the walls of the trachea, helping to prevent air leakage and protect the lungs from aspiration. Uncuffed tubes do not have this inflatable cuff.

Product composition and function :

• Murphy eye incorporated as an additional safety feature.
• Tip-to-Tip X-ray line allows for safe positioning control.
• Improved access to the operative field, because the connections lie outside this area.
• Preformed tube helps to reduce the risk of kinking.

The difference between Oral Endotracheal Tube and Nasal Endotracheal Tube:

Intubation is a bedside procedure in which a tube is inserted either into your nose or mouth to help you breathe better. It is a life-saving procedure done in emergency situations. Intubation through the mouth is known as orotracheal intubation and through the nose is known as nasotracheal intubation.
