AbstractThis article has reviewed some of the current airway management practices as well as technologic advances in adult tracheal tube design in the critically ill patient. Although the primary goals of airway protection and facilitation of positive pressure ventilation remain unchanged, a better understanding of the limitations of tracheal tubes, as well as strategies for optimized airway management, is critical. Such information is needed in order to reduce or avoid potential complications associated with tracheal tubes or similar airway devices.
