Description:

HENAN AILE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD is a company for operating medical disposables, and the Reinforced Endotracheal Tube is one of our productions.

The Reinforced Endotracheal Tube, which has Material reinforcing spiral within the wall of the entire tube, is suitable for both oral and nasal intubation. And it is a method of inserting a special endotracheal tube into the trachea or bronchus through the mouth or nasal cavity.

X-ray endotracheal intubation is a medical procedure that uses fluoroscopic imaging to guide the placement of an endotracheal tube into the trachea. It is performed to ensure accurate and safe placement of the tube, particularly in challenging cases or when visualization of the vocal cords is difficult.

Procedure:

Patient Preparation: The patient is positioned supine with the neck extended and the head in a neutral position. The oropharynx is anesthetized with a topical agent to reduce discomfort and facilitate intubation.

Equipment Setup: The fluoroscopy machine is positioned so that the patient's neck and chest are clearly visible on the monitor. The endotracheal tube is selected based on the patient's size and anatomy.

Tube Insertion: The laryngoscope is used to visualize the vocal cords, and the endotracheal tube is advanced through the vocal cords and into the trachea under direct vision.

Fluoroscopic Visualization: Once the tube is in place, fluoroscopic imaging is used to confirm its position. The tube should be positioned just below the vocal cords, with the tip in the mid-trachea.

Securing the Tube: The endotracheal tube is secured in place using tape or other appropriate devices to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Benefits:

Accurate Placement: X-ray guidance allows for precise placement of the endotracheal tube, reducing the risk of malposition or esophageal intubation.

Real-Time Visualization: Fluoroscopy provides real-time visualization of the airway and the position of the tube, enabling immediate correction of any malposition.

Reduced Complications: X-ray endotracheal intubation helps reduce the risk of complications such as esophageal intubation, pneumothorax, and airway trauma.

Useful in Difficult Cases: X-ray guidance is particularly beneficial in challenging cases, such as patients with difficult anatomy, obesity, or cervical spine abnormalities.

Indications:

X-ray endotracheal intubation is indicated in the following situations:

Anticipated difficult intubation
Patients with cervical spine instability or trauma
Patients with anatomical abnormalities of the airway
Patients with a history of difficult intubation
Obese patients
Patients with limited neck mobility

Contraindications:

X-ray endotracheal intubation may be contraindicated in certain situations, such as:

Patients with unstable vital signs
Patients with severe respiratory distress
Patients with a known allergy to contrast agents (if used)

Conclusion:

X-ray endotracheal intubation is a valuable technique that enhances the safety and accuracy of endotracheal tube placement. By using fluoroscopic guidance, healthcare professionals can visualize the airway in real-time and ensure that the tube is positioned correctly, reducing the risk of complications. It is particularly useful in challenging cases where direct visualization of the vocal cords is difficult or when there is a high risk of malposition.
