Laser Resistance of Endotracheal Tubes II: ObservedTemperature Rise and Theoretical Explanation

An infrared camera was used to measure the temperature rise which takes place in endotracheal tubes exposed to a 20 W CO2 laser beam. It was seen that a metallic tube was heated up within 1 s to temperatures of 200-300°C which was very destructive to the PVC conduits inside the tube. A compound tube...
