Small plastic tube that is inserted through a baby's nose or mouth down into the trachea (windpipe), usually connected to a ventilator.

A plastic tube for breathing, commonly inserted into the trachea during general anesthesia

A flexible plastic tube introduced into the body through the mouth or the nose into the trachea to artificially respirate the lungs.

A flexible plastic tube that goes through the nose or mouth and into the lungs to help you breathe. A ventilator is connected to this tube.

Soft plastic tube inserted through the mouth or nose to the windpipe (trachea) to help breathing.

a plastic tube inserted into the trachea for general anesthesia to keep the airway open and provide a path for ventilation to the lungs

a hollow plastic tube, approximately a foot long and a centimeter in diameter, inserted through the mouth or nose and into the trachea. It is used to facilitate artificial ventilation.

A small plastic tube, which is inserted through a baby's nose or mouth down into the trachea (windpipe). The tube is attached to a ventilator (respirator), which can either help a baby breathe (as in C-PAP) or breathe for him.

(See ET Tube.)

an instrument inserted into the trachea through the mouth to facilitate breathing.

A tube placed into the mouth and into the trachea (windpipe) and connected to a ventilator for the purpose of assisting breathing. The endotracheal tube is taped in place to the skin around the mouth. A special flashlight (laryngoscope) is used to see the vocal cords when inserting the endotracheal tube. Because the endotracheal tube is placed between the vocal cords, an infant with an endotracheal tube in place cannot make vocal sounds or cry.

A tube inserted into the mouth or nose that serves as an artificial airway. It passes through the vocal cords, and therefore speech is not possible with this tube in place. It is the tube that connects a respirator to the patient.

a catheter that is inserted into the trachea through the mouth or nose in order to maintain an open air passage or to deliver oxygen or to permit the suctioning of mucus or to prevent aspiration of the stomach contents

a plastic tube passed through the patient's nose or mouth into the windpipe

A tube which is inserted in the airway, by ACLS personnel, to provide a secure airway. This is the definitive airway control technique.

Amend definition: A flexible rubber or plastic tube that is inserted into the trachea to facilitate delivery of anesthetic gases and oxygen to the lungs, facilitate resuscitation, and prevent the inhalation of foreign matter such as vomitus.

(ET Tube): A skinny plastic tube that is inserted into the infant's windpipe (trachea) to deliver air and or oxygen to the lungs.

A tube placed through the nose or mouth that goes down into the trachea (windpipe). It is used to provide a passageway for air through the trachea to the lungs.

A plastic tube placed through the nose or mouth into the trachea (windpipe). The tube allows oxygen to be delivered to the lungs by a respirator.

a breathing a tube placed in the airways, through the mouth or nose, to keep the airway open and this tube can be connected to mechanical ventilators for the purpose of delivering air and/or gases into the lungs

A tube that serves as an artificial airway and is inserted through the patient's mouth or nose. It passes through the throat and into the air passages to help breathing. To do this it must also pass through the patient's vocal cords. The patient will be unable to speak as long as the endotracheal tube is in place. It is this tube that connects the respirator to the patient.

A tube inserted through the mouth or nose into the windpipe that allows people to breathe during surgery.

An open-ended plastic tube that is placed within the trachea usually to allow assisted breathing by mechanical ventilation.

An airway tube inserted through the mouth leading to your windpipe to help you breathe during surgery.

A plastic tube is passed through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe). The tube can be used to deliver extra oxygen to the lungs, to help make breathing easier, and to help with removing fluid from the lungs. The patient cannot talk while this tube is in place.

long tube used to provide an airway into the lungs This tube is generally connected to a breathing machine

A tube designed to be inserted through the natural opening of a patient's trachea (windpipe), usually for mechanical ventilation. The two types of endotracheal tubes are nasotracheal tubes (inserted through the trachea via the patient's nose) and orotracheal tubes (inserted via the patient's mouth).

a tube by which a patient is connected to a respirator, it's inserted through the patient's mouth or nose, passes through the throat and vocal cords, and into the air passages. The patient will be unable to speak while the tube is in place.

The ventilator allows a breath to be delivered directly to your baby's lungs. The endotracheal tube is secured by tape and goes from your baby's mouth or nose into the windpipe. The tube passes through the vocal chords so you will not be able to hear the baby cry until it is removed.

A tube that is used to keep the airway open or patent. It may be inserted through the mouth or the nose.

An endotracheal tube (ETT) is used in anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine for airway management and mechanical ventilation. It is regarded as the most reliable available method for protecting a patient's airway.
