The Influence of Endotracheal Tube Tip Design on Nasal Trauma During Nasotracheal Intubation: Magill-Tip Versus Murphy-Tip

Abstract

During nasotracheal intubation with conventional endotracheal tubes, Magill-tipped, non-thermosoftened tubes seem to be comparable to Murphy-tipped, thermosoftened tubes with regard to trauma on the nasal mucosa.
