An EKES catheter, or Endotracheal Kinked Emergency Suction catheter, is a medical device used primarily in emergency settings to manage airway obstructions. It is designed to facilitate the removal of secretions or foreign bodies from the trachea, ensuring clear airflow. The catheter's kinked design allows for easier maneuverability and access to the airway in critical situations. It is commonly utilized in conjunction with mechanical ventilation or during resuscitation efforts.
