ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a balloon-equipped intubation assembly and to a method of inserting the same into the air passages of a subject. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, an intubation assembly is provided which comprises an endotracheal tube that is equipped, at its proximal end, with a removable balloon adapter. The balloon adapter and its characteristic movements during "blind" intubation are used to monitor the progress of the insertion and ensure its proper positioning within the trachea of the subject.
