ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube is provided with a placement marker to mark and monitor a correct depth of placement of the endotracheal tube within the breathing pathway. In a preferred embodiment, the forward termination of a marking insert is positioned and retained within a member passage of an endotracheal tube in a spaced relation with a stationary reference structure such as the lips or naris of a patient. Correct tube placement, so distinguished, is thereby ascertainable on a continuing basis by inspection for a continuation of the achieved spaced relation between the forward termination of the marking insert and the stationary reference structure.
