Abstract
Endotracheal tubes serve the function of securing the airway and acting as a conduit between the ventilator and the patient to assist with gas exchange. Different types of tubes are used in different situations, based on their properties, patient size, and the type of surgery being performed. These are commonly used devices that are critical for patient safety, so it is important to understand their design and use. Modifications were made to the initial design to accomplish tasks, such as minimizing aspiration, isolating a lung, providing a clear facial surgical field during general anesthesia, monitoring laryngeal nerve damage during surgery, preventing airway fires during laser surgery, and administering medications. This chapter discusses the various kinds of endotracheal tubes and their clinical applications.
