Detecting device for correct endotracheal intubation

摘要

A detecting device for correct endotracheal intubation includes a tube to be engaged into a trachea of a patient, a signal emitting device for engaging into the trachea of the patient and for emitting a signal, and a sensor for sensing the signal from the signal emitting device to detect the correct engagement of the tube in the trachea of the patient. The signal emitting device may be attached to the tube for engaging into the trachea together with the tube. A control device may treat the signal and may indicate the correct engagement of the tube in the trachea.
