?:definition
  • Artificial airways designed for insertion through the mouth into the esophagus, permitting the passage of oxygen to the lungs while occluding the esophagus. These airways typically consist of an esophageal tube with a distal cuff that occludes the esophagus, securing the patient\'s airway and decreasing the risk of regurgitation; a mask that seals the nose and mouth; and a nasally inserted small-diameter tube for breathing. Esophageal obturation artificial airways are available in several sizes to accommodate the patient\'s anatomic characteristics. They are intended for temporary use in emergency by healthcare personnel with minimum training to facilitate breathing and/or for resuscitation; the airways also facilitate suctioning through them.
