A combitube is a tube with two cuffs so that if the tube is not placed into the treachea the distal cuff can be inflated to seal off the easophagus and all positive pressure can be directed to the lungs. The main thing to remember in a crisis like this is the emergency drugs. Another option is a laryngeal mask air way which is just a mask on the end of a tube that is placed over the epiglottis and can be left for a longer period of time to facilitate ventilation.
