Describe how both lumens on the ETC can be used to provide ventilation.
What will be an ideal response?
There are two cuffs on the ETC, a proximal latex pharyngeal cuff (100 ml) and a PVC cuff (15 ml) near the distal end of the tube. Both lumens on the ETC can be used to provide ventilation. Lumen 1 is used when the tube enters the esophagus and the distal cuff seals off the esophagus. Lumen 2 is used when it is in the trachea and the proximal cuff seals off the trachea.
