	Trachea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The trachea, or windpipe, is a tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi in mammals, and from the pharynx to the syrinx in birds, carrying air to the lungs.
		Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure of making an opening in the front of the neck that extends to the lumen of the trachea, a short tube called a tracheotomy or tracheostomy tube is inserted through this opening, by passing the larynx and vocal cords.
		A tracheal tube may contain ridge-like circumferential rings of taenidia in various geometries such as loops or helices.

		A tracheal tube assembly according to claim 1, wherein the patient end of the inner cannula is deformable radially, and wherein before insertion in the outer tube the external diameter of the patient end of the inner cannula is greater than the internal diameter of the outer tube.

	Respirator apparatus and method of operation thereof - Patent 4519388
		Though the tracheal tube is to be connected at least in the expiration phase to the apparatus for generating a vacuum, it may be advisable to maintain this connection in the inspiration phase and in the expiration phase.
		The tracheal tube 1 includes an inner end 1a disposed within the trachea 10 sealed to the wall of the trachea by an inflatable cuff 4 which is associated with the tracheal tube.
		On the conical proximal end portion 5 of the tracheal tube 1 is attached the extension piece 6 whose flow surface correspond approximately to the free cross section of the tracheal tube 1.

	ParaProducts
		The sensitivity and specificity for correct tracheal placement using the EDD was 100%, and the sensitivity for correct tracheal placement using the end-tidal CO2 detector device was 78%.
		Of the remaining 99 tracheal intubations, the EDD correctly indicated tracheal placement in 98 (sensitivity, 99%) and was indeterminate in 1 case because of blockage of the ETT by secretions resulting from pulmonary edema.
		Tube placement in fluid-filled trachea, lungs, or both, which occurs in pulmonary edema and drowning, may not be detected using this device.

	The Esophageal Detector Device: Summary of the current articles in the literature
		This tracheal tube continued to give the anesthesiologist problems and when it was removed it was found to be almost completely occluded with secretions.
		Of 97 tracheal tubes, the device was inconclusive in one, but correctly identified the remaining 96 (99%), including 18 in whom ETCO2 failed (due to cardiac arrest).
		He stated "this resistance is quite different from the marked resistance encountered during aspiration of a tube in the oesophagus." He recommends against "enthusiastically" aspirating because this may lead to adherence of the ETT bevel to the tracheal mucosa.

	Tracheal Tube Kinking
		A member hospital reported that a patient extubated his tracheal tube so that it was coiled in his mouth as he was being rolled onto his side for bathing.
		After the tube was placed in a satisfactory position and secured, the patient was gradually placed in a sitting position with flexed neck.
		Check and record the last visible number on the tube, indicating tube length from the tip, before taping it, so that any repositioning or reintubation will result in the correct tube position (assuming that care is taken to keep the number visible and not cover it with tape).

	eMedicine - Laryngeal and Tracheal Stents : Article by John E McClay, MD
		Absolute and relative contraindications for tracheal stents are similar to contraindications listed for laryngeal stents; however, tracheal stents are often used as a last resort to prevent death by asphyxiation when other measures have failed or are not feasible.
		This characteristic is important because the tube cannot be removed easily because it is wired to the trachea and tissues of the larynx, trachea, and neck have healed around it.
		The decision to use a laryngeal or tracheal stent and the type of stent used is based on the experience and knowledge of the surgeon or physician.

		Tracheal tubes were collected at the time of extubation from consecutive adult medical intensive care patients.
		On receipt, the outer tracheal tube surface was cleaned with cotton wool moistened in 90% ethyl alcohol (Tracheal tubes arriving in the laboratory after hours were stored at 0 to 4[degree]C without opening the seal).
		A 1-cm ring of tracheal tube was cut from the tube at the upper margin of the inflatable cuff with a fresh scalpel blade.

		Comparing the frequency of blocked tubes in ETT vs TT, in terms of blocked tracheal tube per patient, the incidence of blocked ETT was significantly lower than that of blocked tracheal tubes (9/7973 vs. 4/416: p=0.00006).
		Comparing the pediatric vs. adult rate, there were 2 episodes of blocked tubes in one child from a population of 310 pediatric patients over 650 tracheal tube days compared to 11 episodes of blocked tubes in 10 adults from a population of 7668 adult patients over 15032 tracheal tube days.
		Tracheal tube blockage was relatively rare occurring in 11 of 7978 patients (0.14%) with a frequency of 13 episodes in over 15628 tracheal tube days (0.08%).

		However, an 'ideal tracheal tube,' which does not ignite and yet has all of the characteristics of conventional tracheal tubes specified in ASTM F1242 (standard specification for cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes), does not exist.
		If the department requires documentation of the placement of endotracheal tubes, I would recommend bringing a fiberoptic bronchoscope into the room in question and then documenting on the chart that the endotracheal tube was placed in the usual fashion and that the correct positioning in the trachea was confirmed by bronchoscopy.
		Several anesthesiologists were called to examine the patient; half thought the tube was in the trachea, and half thought the tube was in the esophagus.

		The female connector of the pilot tube is similar in shape and color to the connector of the feeding tube that was used on the patient.
		The style of involved tracheal tubes (both endotracheal and tracheostomy) have a cuff made of polyurethane foam encapsulated in a silicone elastomer balloon.
		Although the female connector on the feeding tube is pink, it appears almost identical to the female connector on the endotracheal tube.

		We conclude that the hemispherical bevel tube may be considered as an adjunct to oral tracheal intubation using an introducer as a guide.

	Trachea Problems
		Tracheal collapse is a condition in which the trachea partially collapses as a dog breathes, leading to tracheal irritation, coughing and sometimes secondary changes in the lungs or upper airways.
		The tracheal lining is ciliated and the cilia move in unison, sweeping a layer of mucous, antibodies and other protective substances constantly towards the larynx.
		Tracheal collapse probably does shorten the lifespan of many dogs with the condition but it is often manageable for very long periods of time and it would not surprise me if Whisky lived nearly a normal lifespan.
