    AbstractA variety of catheters, stylets, and obturators have been used to assist with problems in airway management. Obturators specifically designed for airway use are now available in different sizes. The pediatric-size obturators (2.2 mm diameter) can be placed into the airways of most patients without apparent respiratory impairment. Use of these obturators to preserve a path to the airway is described in cases of tracheostomy and tentative extubation. The advantages and disadvantages inherent in the use of such obturators are described.
