Endotracheal tube Portex blue line suction above the cuff for the tracheal tube helps for the good results in oral intubation. ET Tube for airway management for continuous ventilation on a ventilator and manual ventilation
Description
Used for oral intubation only intended for airway management. manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
some of the features are below
Thermostatic materials with sufficient initial rigidity for intubation.
Radio-opaque blue line to confirm correct placement by x-ray.
An intubation depth mark above the cuffs provided as a guide for correct placement of the tube.
A blue inflation line and the pilot balloon with the integral Luer check valve for inflating, deflating and monitoring the cuffs.
A suction lumen is incorporated into the dorsal suction hole located above the cuffs.

Indication for use
Intended for oral intubation only for airway management of patients anticipated to require prolonged mechanical ventilation in critical care units.
Used in the emergency and operation theatre.
Dorsal suction lumen allows drainage by continuous or intermittent suctioning of contaminated mucous and subglottic secretions that accumulate above the cuff.
Precaution
Secure all the breathing system connections.
Patients should be adequately humidified to minimize encrustation of the tracheal lumen and prevent tracheal mucosal damage.
The patency of the tracheal tube lumen assured by regular endobronchial suctioning. check routinely and replace to maintain a patent airway.
Maximum use of this endotracheal tube up to 30 days.
Cuff pressure and volume monitored and adjusted routinely.
