Study Notes
Devices in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
- The primary purpose of these devices is to evaluate the airway and assist in tracheal intubation.
Evaluating the Airway
- These devices are used to evaluate the airway in situations where intubation is difficult or predicted to be difficult.
- They are also used in situations where the airway needs to be monitored continuously.
Functions in Tracheal Intubation
- One of the functions of these devices is to guide the tracheal tube during intubation and ensure proper placement.
Confirming Tube Placement
- These devices can confirm the placement of orotracheal and nasotracheal tubes.
- They can also confirm the placement of double-lumen tubes and other types of endotracheal tubes.
