A urinary catheter connected to an appropriately sized ET tube connector - for administering oxygen if the s**t really does hit the fan with a brachycephalic and that's all that can be passed into the trachea..

To be honest our urinary catheters are store closed to hand where are ECC table is in our prep room. As a general guide I’d go for cat, small, med & large.

That's great thanks Nick. Do you have a preferred range of sizes/types to keep on hand for urinary catheters and stomach tubes? I'm researching all the different types and just wanting to see what others think also. Thankyou
