What is a combitube?
A combitube is a duel cuffed endotracheal airway used for blind endotracheal intubation. This item is usually used in the prehospital setting. The simplicity of placement is the main advantage of the combitube over endotracheal intubation. When intubating with a traditional endotracheal tube, care must be taken to ensure that the tube has been placed in the trachea, and not the esophagus. The dual-lumen design of the combitube allows for ventilation to proceed regardless of where the tube ends up. If the tube is placed into the esophagus, ventilation is provided through one tube, and if it winds up in the trachea, ventilation is provided through the other tube.
