Summary of the endotracheal tube
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the invention relate to endotracheal tube and methods for using endotracheal tubes. The endotracheal tubes may be adapted for use with any suitable patient. Patients may include animals or humans of any suitable size. However, embodiments of the laryngeal mask airway are especially useful when the patients are infants such as neonates.
Another embodiment of the oxygen mask is directed to a method of inserting an endotracheal tube in a patient, the method comprising: a) obtaining an endotracheal tube comprising a tubular member including a distal end and a proximal end, and a plurality of visually distinct regions at a proximal portion of the tubular member, wherein each of the distinct regions comprises a respectively different color; b) inserting the distal end of the tracheostomy tube into a patient; and c) aligning one visually distinct region of the visually distinct regions with an anatomical structure of the patient.
Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of inserting an endotracheal tube in a patient, the method comprising: a) obtaining an endotracheal tube comprising a tubular member including a distal end and a proximal end, and a plurality of visually distinct regions at a proximal portion of the tubular member, wherein each visually distinct region is spaced from other visually distinct regions; b) inserting the distal end of the feeding tubes into a patient; c)
In preferred embodiments of the invention, the distinct regions on the endotracheal tube are brightly colored lines. During intubation, one of the lines is selected and localized at, for example, a fixed anatomical location such as the upper gingival ridge.

Questions and Answers
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate the proper handling technique and grip of my tube 10. With the endotracheal tube 10, the middle finger 20 is placed into the ring 11. The index finger 21 is placed on the uppermost boundary of the connector tip 16. Then the tube 10 is introduced into the patient's mouth and advanced towards the glottis as best seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
One of the most important functions of an endotracheal tube (ETT) is to prevent aspiration of fluid or particulate matter into the airway. This is achieved by using tracheostomy tube with inflatable cuffs.
The present invention relates to the field of endotracheal tube. More particularly, this invention deals with an apparatus and process for placing an endotracheal tube so that one or both lungs may be ventilated during an operation.
It is a common practice to provide human medical patients with artificial ventilation during surgery or in emergency situations. For example, accident victims will frequently require CPR or intubation by a paramedic in an emergency vehicle or by an anesthesiologist in an operating room. There are other surgical procedures which require use of an endotracheal tube to collapse one lung.
