Insertion of the suction catheter
Extraction of the suction catheter
Both insertion of and extraction of the catheter
Either insertion of or extraction of the catheter - it makes no difference.
The corner of the mouth to the earlobe
The tip of the nose to the corner of the mouth
The tip of the nose to the tragus
The tip of the nose to the chin
Lenght of tube that will pass beyond the vocal chords
Length
Internal diameter
External diameter
Under the epiglottis
Directly on the epiglotis
In the vallecula
Past the epiglottis at the vocal chords
Is recommended for use on infants
Reduces the need for a stylet
Provides more exposure of the glottis
Provides more room for passage of the ET tube
In the vallecula, at the base of the tongue
In the vallecula, at the opening of the vocal chords
To the right of the epiglottis
Under the epiglottis

Occlusion of the endotracheal tube
Left-sided pneumothorax
Right mainstream intubation
Right-sided hypertypany
Continue to ventilate the patient
Deflate the cuff and withdraw 1 to 2 cm of the tube
Inflate the cuff with additional 3 to 5 mL of air
Remove the tube
Flex the head and extend the neck
Flex the head and neck forward
Flex the neck so the chin is close to the chest
Flex the neck and extend the head

Continue ventilation and secure the tube
Remove the endotracheal tube adn oxygenate the patient
Insert another endotracheal tube around the first one
Pull the tube back 1 to 2 cm
