Faqs:
What is the purpose of the Murphy Eye in the endotracheal tube?
The Murphy Eye reduces the risk of occlusion and maintains airflow, providing an additional safety feature during intubation.
Why is the reinforced structure important in an endotracheal tube?
The reinforced structure with a spiral wire prevents kinking or collapse, ensuring a patent airway and effective ventilation during patient movement or suctioning.
When is an uncuffed endotracheal tube preferred over a cuffed one?
An uncuffed tube is preferred for short-term intubation, patients with narrow oropharyngeal airways, or those at increased risk of tracheal stenosis, as it reduces the risk of tracheal damage and is easier to remove.
