Fig 1 Distal ends of the five tracheal tubes. In order from top—PharmaPlast Murphy (Pharmplast Ltd, Redditch, UK), Kendall Curity® (Tyco Healthcare, Mansfield, MA, USA), Rusch Ruschelit® Super Safety Clear (Teleflex Inc., Limerick, PA, USA), Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo™ (Mallinckrodt Ltd, Tucson, AZ, USA) and Portex Profile Soft-Seal Cuff (Portex Ltd, Hythe, Kent, UK). DM: distance between the distal edge of intubation guide mark (distal intubation mark in Kendall and Pharmaplast) and the tip. C: distance between the proximal edge of the cuff and the tip. PC: distance between the distal edge of intubation guide mark and the proximal edge of cuff. IGM: intubation guide mark. In Mallinckrodt tubes, no intubation guide marks were present.
