How to use the nasal endotracheal tube?

The use of a nasal endotracheal tube involves a series of steps that should be performed by trained healthcare professionals. Here is a general overview of the process:

Preparations:

Gather the necessary equipment, including the appropriate size nasal endotracheal tube, laryngoscope, stylet (if needed), lubricant, suction device, and securing materials (e.g., tape or tube holder).
Ensure that the patient is properly positioned, usually in a supine position with the head slightly extended.

Preoxygenation:

Administer supplemental oxygen to the patient via a mask or other means to optimize oxygenation before intubation.

Pre-medication:

If necessary, administer appropriate medications to induce sedation and/or paralysis as per the patient's condition and medical guidelines.

Nasal intubation:

• Apply a water-based lubricant to the nasal endotracheal tube to facilitate insertion.
• Select the appropriate nostril for intubation based on the patient's anatomy and any contraindications (e.g., nasal obstruction, facial trauma).
• Gently insert the tube through the chosen nostril, advancing it along the floor of the nasal cavity while applying slight upward pressure to follow the natural curvature of the airway.
• Use a laryngoscope (with or without a stylet) to help guide the tube through the nasal passages and into the trachea.
• Monitor the patient's vital signs and oxygen saturation throughout the intubation process.
• Once the tube reaches the desired depth, inflate the cuff with an appropriate volume of air, as recommended by the manufacturer or medical guidelines, to create an airtight seal.
• Confirm proper tube placement using clinical indicators (e.g., bilateral breath sounds, chest rise, capnography) and, if available, confirm with a chest X-ray.

Securing the tube:

Secure the nasal endotracheal tube in place using tape, a tube holder, or other appropriate methods. Care should be taken not to cause undue pressure on the nasal bridge, which can lead to skin breakdown.

Post-intubation care:

Connect the endotracheal tube to the anesthesia or ventilator circuit.
Confirm proper ventilation and adjust ventilator settings as needed.
Maintain appropriate cuff pressure and monitor it regularly.
Provide ongoing monitoring of the patient's vital signs, oxygenation, and ventilation.
