ABSTRACT:
A tracheal assembly comprises an endotracheal tube and a tracheal shield. The tracheal shield has a stiff rod extending along the endotracheal tube, and a stop at the machine end of the shield which limits the extent of insertion of the shield into the tube. At its patient end, the shield has a plate or similar shield member that expands when the shield member is inserted beyond the patient end of the tube, to protect the posterior wall of the trachea during a tracheostomy procedure. The shield member can be rolled up or otherwise contracted for insertion and removal along the tube.
