These are advanced airway devicesEndotracheal intubation uses a laryngoscope
to visualize the trachea & an endotracheal tube
Advantages: isolation of the airway preventing aspiration
Facilitation of ventilation & oxygenationFor the easy administration of emergency
drugs In emergency kits: 1 laryngoscope & a set of
spare batteries & assorted adult & pediatric size endotracheal tubes
