Some basic knowledge of endoendotracheal tube

<p><a href="https://www.hondemedical.com/endotracheal-tube" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Endoendotracheal tube</a>&nbsp;is the technique of inserting a special endotracheal tube into the trachea through the glottis called tracheal intubation. This technique can provide the best conditions for airway patency, ventilation and oxygen supply, airway suction and prevention of aspiration.</p><p><br></p><p>Function and meaning</p><p>Endoendotracheal tube&nbsp;is an important rescue technique commonly used in emergency work. It is a basic skill that medical staff must master. It plays a vital role in rescuing the lives of patients and reducing the mortality rate. And it can inhale secretions or foreign bodies in the trachea in time, prevent foreign bodies from entering the respiratory tract, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, and perform effective artificial or mechanical ventilation to prevent patients from hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention.</p><p>Whether the tracheal intubation is timely or not is directly related to the success or failure of the rescue, whether the patient can be safely transported and the patient's prognosis.</p><p><br></p><p>Indications for endoendotracheal tube</p><p>1. People whose respiratory tract is difficult to keep unobstructed, tumors in the neck compress the trachea, general anesthetics can significantly inhibit breathing or use muscle relaxants;</p><p>2. Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, drug poisoning, and severe asphyxia of newborns;</p><p>3. Certain special anesthesia, such as combined use of hypothermia, hypotension and intravenous procaine combined anesthesia.</p><p><br></p><p>Contraindications for endoendotracheal tube</p><p>1. Absolutely taboo:</p><p>Laryngeal edema, acute laryngitis, submucosal hematoma of the larynx, and intubation injury can cause severe bleeding; unless first aid, endoendotracheal tube is contraindicated.</p><p>2. Relative taboo:</p><p>① Patients with incomplete respiratory obstruction have intubation indications, but rapid induction of intubation is contraindicated.</p><p>②Patients coexisting with hemorrhagic blood diseases (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc.). Intubation injury can easily induce bleeding or hematoma in the laryngoglottis or trachea submucosa, and secondary acute obstruction of the respiratory tract.</p><p>③If the aortic aneurysm compresses the trachea, intubation may cause the aortic aneurysm to rupture.</p><p>④ Anesthetizers who have not mastered the basic knowledge of intubation, are not proficient in intubation technology or incomplete intubation equipment, should be listed as relative contraindications.</p>
