ABSTRACT:
An emergency resuscitation apparatus is provided by an endotracheal tube having a tracheal obturator and a second expandable cuff for sealing against the pharyngeal tissues to provide an alternate sealing means for respiratory fluids if the blind intubation is not successful. A laryngeal tube passes through this pharyngeal obturator for alternatively introducing respiratory fluids into the lungs through the larynx. The endotracheal tube may also be used as an esophageal obturator and inserted without the intubating guide means. The endotracheal and laryngeal tubes may be individually accessed from outside the patient. An inflation system is provided to expand the cuffs. When low pressure cuffs are used, a mouthpiece is provided for inflating the cuffs by breathing. A face shield supports the extending tubes and insures intubation to a correct depth.
