  • Title: [Endotracheal tube for laryngeal CO2 laser microsurgery. 208 cases].
    Author: Brille P, Milhaud A, Starobinsky E, Postel JP, Buffet JP, Vaquette C, Boudin G, Daelman F, Lemoine E.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1985 Jul 06; 14(27):1470-2. PubMed ID: 3161063.
    Abstract:
    To suppress the risk inherent in laryngeal microsurgery performed with a CO2 laser beam, the authors suggest to use a reinforced silicone endotracheal tube, the cuff of which is protected by a silicone plus aluminium powder shield. The resistance of silicone to fire is augmented during laser shots by a nitrogen flow on the upper side of the shield at the rates of 2 l/min in patients breathing air and 30 l/min in patients give oxygen.
