    • Clinical Issues

      • Diagnostic Checklist

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • Endotracheal tube (ETT): Airway management/protection (intraoperative/postoperative, shock), risk of airway compromise (stroke, overdose, coma), mechanical ventilation/oxygenation, respiratory failure, upper airway obstruction, resuscitation of critically-ill patients
            • Dual-lumen ETT: Differential lung ventilation
          • Tracheostomy tube (TT): Long-term mechanical ventilation
            • Surgical stoma in anterior trachea
            • Usually placed 1-3 weeks post initial intubation
          • Gastric tube (GT): Gastric aspiration/decompression, nutritional support, drug administration
          • Feeding tube (FT): Enteral nutrition
