Aura-i is the preferred device for establishing an airway when an ET-tube is deemed unnecessary or when unexpected difficulties arise in connection with airway management. It can also function as a conduit for an endotracheal tube in cannot intubate - cannot ventilate situations (CI-CV), as well as situations where is it necessary to place an endotracheal tube after insertion of the Aura-i. Note: The device is not intended as a replacement of an endotracheal tube, and is best suited for use in surgical procedures where tracheal intubation is not deemed necessary.
