Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The comparison of insertion depth for orotracheal intubation between standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes and straight reinforced tracheal tubes.
To investigate whether these properties of reinforced tubes cause difference in insertion depth compared to standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes. ⋯ The insertion depth of straight reinforced tracheal tubes can be shorter than that of standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes due to different tube pathways in the upper airway.

Endotracheal intubation is considered the criterion-standard technique for securing the airway. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) represent a major advance in airway management and are recommended by the guidelines in difficult situations such as Advanced Life Support and "cannot ventilate-cannot intubate" scenarios. The Easytube (EzT) is an SAD introduced a decade ago but not included yet in the above guidelines. ⋯ The EzT appears to be a safe and a good alternative to established SADs. It may be considered among SADs by future guidelines on Advanced Life Support and "cannot ventilate-cannot intubate" scenarios.
