ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube and inflatable cuff assembly that allows medical instrumentation to be positioned in the trachea. The device remains securely placed in the trachea and allows the passage of gases to the lungs to be controlled. It also provides means for containing various medical instrumentation in a hermetically sealed environment. The device is used during surgery for placement of medical instrumentation, such as heart monitors and electrodes for atrial pacing, inside a hermetically sealed inflatable cuff such that the instrumentation can be appropriately positioned inside the trachea. The device also enables the physician to insert a low pressure gauge, a temperature gauge, an echo probe or other sensing means into the cuff, or to listen directly to acoustical phenomena within the cuff in the absence of instrumentation.
