Term 1 of 152
Endotracheal tube connectors connect the endotracheal tube to the breathing system. One end
of the connector connects to the endotracheal tube and this end has a diameter that depends on
the endotracheal tube size. The other end connects to the breathing system and has a [1] mm
outer diameter (British Standard).
