ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal intubation device which enables the user to simultaneously apply suction during the intubation process is disclosed. The device comprises a first elongated, flexible tube having an insertion tip at one end thereof designed for insertion into the nasopharnyx, orpharnyx and trachea of a newborn baby. A second elongated, flexible tube is slideably disposed about the first tube. The second tube has an insertion tip at one end thereof and grip means adjacent the other end. The second tube further has various means for shaping the second tube into a predetermined configuration such that the second tube and the first tube are both selectively retained in such configuration. By the use of the device of the present invention, the same suction device can be used to expedite the suction of material such as meconium from the oral, nasogastric and trachea region.
