Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The small distal lumen of the Combitube usually advances into the esophagus, but in the case of a tracheal entry of the distal lumen, the Combitube can be used as a conventional endotracheal tube. This will secure the airway.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A finger is used to guide the deflated cuff past the tongue and pharynx. The tube is held in place with the other hand while the guiding finger is withdrawn. A stylet and Miller laryngoscope are used in the placement of an endotracheal tube. A lighted stylet is used in the blind placement of an endotracheal tube.
