| Popis: | A silicone T tube is widely used for the management of airway problems. Montgomery described the way in which it is usually inserted, but this conventional insertion technique can fail in cases of subglottic stenosis due to the softness of the T tube, which kinks when forced against resistance. An adjunct to the traditional technique of Montgomery may help to insert a T tube in such patients. |
