ETT uncuff 3, 3.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7... cuffed 3.5, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7" provides information about a range of endotracheal tubes (ETT) with both uncuffed and cuffed options, each available in various sizes. Here's a breakdown:
Uncuffed Endotracheal Tubes (ETT):
- Sizes: 3, 3.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7
- These sizes represent the diameter of the uncuffed ETTs. Each size corresponds to a different tube diameter, allowing healthcare professionals to select an appropriate size based on the patient's anatomy and other considerations.
Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes (ETT):
- Sizes: 3.5, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7
- These sizes represent the diameter of the cuffed ETTs when the cuff is inflated. Cuffed tubes are equipped with an inflatable balloon around the distal end to create a seal in the trachea, preventing air leakage and reducing the risk of aspiration.
