endotracheal
Inside the windpipe
Endotracheal means within or through the trachea (windpipe).
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, particularly regarding airway management during anesthesia or emergency care.
An endotracheal tube is inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to maintain an open airway and deliver oxygen or anesthetic gases.
