  • Method and device for placing an endotracheal tube
    Publication number: 20080066746
    Abstract: Device and method for inserting an endotracheal tube or for replacing an endotracheal tube that already exists in the trachea with a new endotracheal tube. The device comprises a tubular structure effective for providing ventilation to the patient during replacement of the endotracheal tube. A stylet is provided having a taper section that gradually increases in diameter from the distal end thereby eliminating the difference in diameters between the tubular structure and the endotracheal tube and for facilitating entry of the new endotracheal tube into the trachea of the patient.
