    the airway is not closed off
    to give positive pressure
    Types: Pediatric & Adult
    aka ET tube or ETT

    2-inch- to 3-inch-long curved metal


    or plastic tube placed in a

    through the side of the chest into
    the pleural space
    used to remove air, fluid, or pus
    from the intrathoracic space
    connected to a water-sealed
    drainage
    aka a Blau drain, intercostal
    catheter or tube thoracostomy
    3. Chest Tube or Thoracic Catheter

    a flexible, long tube


    attached on one end to the
    breathing tube (endotracheal or
    tracheostomy tube)
    other end is connected to a
    collection container (suction
    canister) and a device that
    generates suction
    for removing secretions
    4. Suction Catheter

    B. Gastrointestinal Tubes
    passed through the nose and down
    through the nasopharynx and
    esophagus into the stomach
    used to evacuate air in the
    stomach; also for feeding and
    medication
    either for diagnostic or therapeutic
    purpose
    aka NG tube or NGT

    management of upper
    gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to
    bleeding from esophageal varices

    inflatable balloons
    aka esophageal varices tube

    to release flatulence; it facilitates


    passage of excessive flatus
    (presence of abnormal amounts of
    gas in the GI tract)
    usually for infants
    also used in barium enema (a
    special x-ray of the large intestine,
    which includes the colon and
    rectum)

    to pass into its interior and be
    carried away through the suction
    tube
