Abstract
An endotracheal tube with a tube part and a contact electrode for bearing on at least one vocal cord of a patient intubated with the tube, wherein, in order to establish and maintain a reliable contact between the vocal cords of the patient and the contact electrode throughout the duration of an operation, provision according to the invention is made for the contact electrode to have at least one conductor loop which at least approximately circumferentially surrounds the tube part in a contact region.
Claims10
An endotracheal tube comprising a tube part and at least one contact electrode for bearing on at least one associated vocal cord of an associated patient intubated with the tube, the at least one contact electrode having at least one conductor loop which at least approximately circumferentially surrounds the tube part in a contact region, the at least one contact electrode has a plurality of conductor loops, which helically surround the tube part in the contact region.
An endotracheal tube comprising a tube part and at least one contact electrode for bearing on at least one associated vocal cord of an associated patient intubated with the tube, the at least one contact electrode having at least one conductor loop which at least approximately circumferentially surrounds the tube part in a contact region, the at least one contact electrode has a plurality of conductor loops, which annularly surround the tube part in the contact region.
An endotracheal tube comprising a tube part and at least one contact electrode for bearing on at least one associated vocal cord of an associated patient intubated with the tube, the at least one contact electrode having at least one conductor loop which at least approximately circumferentially surrounds the tube part in a contact region, the at least one contact electrode includes a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode, and the at least one conductor loop includes a first plurality of conductor loops and a second plurality of conductor loops respectively, the first plurality of conductor loops and the second plurality of conductor loops being arranged alternating with one another in the contact region of the tube part.
An endotracheal tube comprising a tube part and at least one contact electrode for bearing on at least one associated vocal cord of an associated patient intubated with the tube, the at least one contact electrode having at least one conductor loop which at least approximately circumferentially surrounds the tube part in a contact region, the at least one contact electrode is two contact electrodes each including two electrode portions, with all electrode portions being arranged so as to helically wind around the contact region in the same direction and being arranged alternating with one another.
