The Shiley Endotracheal Tube Cuffed Hi-Lo Curved 7.0 mm Adult Murphy Eye is a high-quality medical device designed to ensure safe and effective airway management in adult patients. Used primarily in anesthesia, emergency, and critical care settings, this endotracheal tube facilitates ventilation and protects the airway during surgical procedures or respiratory distress.
This endotracheal tube features a 7.0 mm inner diameter, making it suitable for adult patients requiring secure airway access. The Hi-Lo configuration is designed to provide optimal tracheal access while minimizing potential trauma during insertion and removal.
Key Features:
- Hi-Lo Design: The specialized curved design aids in easy insertion and offers a natural fit within the airway, reducing the risk of tube misplacement.
- Cuffed Tube: The cuff, made of soft, inflatable material, ensures a secure seal within the trachea. This minimizes the risk of aspiration and helps maintain effective ventilation.
- Murphy Eye: The inclusion of a Murphy Eye allows for alternative airflow, ensuring continued ventilation even if the main lumen becomes obstructed.
- Smooth, Rounded Edges: The atraumatic tip design reduces the risk of mucosal injury during intubation and provides additional patient comfort.
- Radiopaque Line: A radiopaque strip is embedded within the tube for clear visibility on X-rays, assisting in accurate tube positioning verification.
- Graduated Markings: Clearly marked graduations along the tube provide precise measurements to monitor insertion depth and ensure correct placement.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from medical-grade PVC, the tube offers durability and flexibility while remaining latex-free to prevent allergic reactions.
Clinical Applications:
- The Shiley Endotracheal Tube is commonly used in settings that require intubation, such as during general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, and in patients experiencing respiratory failure. It's an essential component for health care professionals when rapid airway management is necessary.
By providing reliable and secure airway management, the Shiley Endotracheal Tube Cuffed Hi-Lo Curved 7.0 mm Adult Murphy Eye serves as an indispensable tool in enhancing patient safety and care quality.
