Our obturating introducer for nasal endotracheal tubes is presented as a pack containing:

• The appropriate sized endotracheal tube is selected for the patient.
• The endotracheal tube is mated with the introducer.
• The most patent nostril is selected and the introducer is lubricated and passed along the floor of the nostril and nasopharynx until the distal end of the introducer can be visualized in the mouth using a laryngoscope.
• The distal end of the introducer is grasped with Magill’s forceps and delivered through the mouth. By pushing on the endotracheal tube distal to the nostrils and pulling the introducer through the mouth the distal end of the endotracheal tube is delivered into the oropharynx .The introducer is uncoupled from the endotracheal tube and removed. The endotracheal tube can then be passed into the trachea through using a laryngoscope.
