Abstract
One aspect of the invention provides an airway management device including: an endotracheal tube having a proximal end and a distal end and a sheath adjacent to the endotracheal tube. The sheath includes a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the endotracheal tube extends beyond the distal end of the sheath. Another aspect of the invention provides a surgical kit including an airway management device and instructions for use. The airway management device includes: an endotracheal tube having a proximal end and a distal end and a sheath adjacent to the endotracheal tube. The sheath includes a proximal and a distal end. The distal end of the endotracheal tube extends beyond the distal end of the sheath.
