Description of Pre-formed Endotracheal Tube
The preformed endotracheal tube is also known as the RAE tube. The distinguishing feature of RAE tubes in comparison to standard endotracheal tubes is their preformed bend. RAE tubes are otherwise designed the same way as standard endotracheal tubes, i.e., they have the same left-facing beveled tip, Murphy eye, cuff design, and length/ diameter markings.
Preformed Endotracheal Tubes are designed to extend the anesthesia circuit out of the surgical field.
