To assist in breathing, an endotracheal tube is inserted through the patient's mouth into the trachea.
An endotracheal tube is a medical device that
provides an artificial airway. When a patient is unable to breathe on their
own, it is implanted. It is inserted into the trachea (windpipe) through the
mouth or nose to assist a patient in breathing during surgery. A coated endotracheal tube is a tube that has
been coated with antithrombotic agents to prevent biofilm formation. By
preventing bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, coating lowers the
risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The rise in the number of
surgical procedures due to the increased prevalence of chronic respiratory
diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes,
cancer, and other lung injuries is a major factor contributing to the growth of
the coated endotracheal tube.
What is the purpose of an
endotracheal tube?
Endotracheal
intubation is used to keep the airway open so that oxygen, medicine, or
anesthesia can be administered. Breathing assistance is provided in certain illnesses,
such as pneumonia, emphysema, heart failure, collapsed lung, or severe trauma.
What are the different types of
endotracheal tubes?
Endotracheal
tubes are classified as oral or nasal, cuffed or unstuffed, preformed (e.g.,
RAE (Ring, Adair, and Elwyn) tubes), reinforced tubes, or double-lumen end
bronchial tubes. Tubes for human use range in internal diameter from 2 to 10.5
mm (ID).
Furthermore, an increase in the incidence of
ventilator-associated pneumonia increased awareness of technologically advanced
endotracheal tubes, and advancements in Nan biotechnology and drug design are
expected to drive the growth
of the global coated endotracheal tubes. However, a scarcity of skilled
professionals and the post-operative risks associated with laparoscopy
surgeries are impeding the market growth. Developing economies, on the other
hand, offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market, owing to an increase
in the geriatric population, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and a high
increase in patients with VAP.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the
global endotracheal tube market will be worth $739.4 million in 2019 and will
grow at a CAGR of 6.4 percent over the forecast period (2019-2027).
