Abstract
EasyTube is an esophageal-tracheal double lumen airway device that combines the features of an endotracheal tube with a supraglottic airway device, enabling ventilation with either tracheal or esophageal insertion. EasyTube can be inserted blindly or by using a laryngoscope. Its main indication is for airway emergencies both in pre-and in-hospital areas. In this article we review the current knowledge on the use of the EasyTube.Keywords: EasyTube; airway device; double lumen; emergency; ventilation
