This answer assumes you're asking about medications administered via an EndoTracheal Tube. Aerosolized medications such as Albuterol / Salbutamol may be administered via an ETT. Brisk ventilation with a BVM attached to an ETT can help disperse aerosols through the lungs, as well, performing deep suctioning prior to administration may assist in dispersal through the lungs. Other medications may be given via the ETT during Cardiac Arrest as part of ACLS, although the use of ETT medications is falling out of favor as there is limited benefit from ETT administration, and doses need to be adjusted. Intravenous or Intraosseous is preferred over ETT administration.
