Tracheal Catheter Placement

Some advanced mechanics measurements on the AVEA require the use of a tracheal catheter. To ensure accuracy of
measurements and to minimize risk of adverse events the tracheal catheter should be placed in the endotracheal tube
and not extend beyond the tip.
To assure proper placement, measure the length of the endotracheal tube, and its associated adapters. Insert the
tracheal catheter into the endotracheal tube to a distance not greater than this measurement.
WARNING
Inserting the tracheal catheter beyond the tip of the endotracheal tube may cause irritation and inflammation
of the trachea and airways or produce vagal responses in some patients.
