PRODUCT INFORMATION

What is the TacMed™ Basic Endotracheal Kit? The TacMed™ Basic Endotracheal Kit (SKU: MEDTAC0737) is a complete endotracheal intubation kit assembled by Tactical Medical Solutions for advanced airway providers performing orotracheal intubation. The kit contains: ET Tubes size 6 (cuffed), size 7, and size 8; a 15Fr bougie introducer; Grip-ET with bite block; 10Fr Flexi-Slip stylet; 3x Surgilube; 10cc LL syringe; Easy Cap CO2 detector; and 4PR Blackmaxx Gloves (Large). Advanced provider only — endotracheal intubation requires advanced airway training and medical director authorization.

Advanced Provider Only — Endotracheal Intubation Endotracheal intubation (ETI) requires advanced airway training, hands-on simulation practice, and medical director authorization. CoTCCC does not recommend RSI prehospital — ETI without RSI is appropriate only for deeply comatose patients with absent airway reflexes. Not for use by untrained personnel.

Product Overview

The TacMed™ Basic Endotracheal Kit consolidates the essential components for orotracheal intubation into a single pre-assembled kit — eliminating the need to source individual components separately and reducing the risk of missing a critical item when definitive airway management is required. The kit reflects Tactical Medical Solutions' approach to pre-assembling clinically appropriate component sets designed for real operational environments.

Three ET tube sizes (6 cuffed, 7, and 8) cover the range of adult tracheal anatomy — with the size 6 cuffed tube appropriate for smaller adult airways (typically females or smaller males), size 7 as a common first-line adult choice, and size 8 for larger adult airways. Including three sizes in a single kit eliminates the need to re-stock after a tube selection is made in the field. The 15Fr bougie introducer is a critical difficult-airway adjunct: when direct or video-assisted laryngoscopy provides a Grade III or IV view and the tracheal opening cannot be directly visualized, the bougie allows the provider to place the tip into the trachea by feel, then railroad the ET tube over the bougie — significantly improving first-pass success in difficult airways.

The Easy Cap colorimetric CO2 detector provides immediate tube placement confirmation: correct endotracheal placement produces color change with each breath cycle (breath-to-breath response), while esophageal placement produces no colorimetric response. Colorimetric ETCO2 is the standard of care for field confirmation of ET tube placement when waveform capnography is unavailable. The Grip-ET bite block prevents the patient from biting down and occluding the tube, eliminating the need for a separate bite block or oropharyngeal airway for tube protection.

TCCC Context — ETI Without RSI: CoTCCC does not recommend RSI in the prehospital tactical environment. Endotracheal intubation without RSI is appropriate only for deeply comatose patients (GCS ≤8 with absent airway reflexes) — typically encountered in TACEVAC-level care with highly trained special operations medical providers. In civilian EMS, ETI with this kit requires advanced paramedic-level training, medical director protocol authorization, and ideally video laryngoscopy capability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is included in the TacMed™ Basic Endotracheal Kit?

The TacMed™ Basic Endotracheal Kit (SKU: MEDTAC0737) contains all components needed for orotracheal intubation: 1x ET Tube size 6 (cuffed), 1x ET Tube size 7, 1x ET Tube size 8 — covering the full range of adult tracheal anatomy; 1x ET Tube Introducer (Bougie) 15Fr for difficult-airway intubation; 1x Grip-ET with Bite Block for tube securing and protection; 1x Flexi-Slip Stylet 10Fr for tube shaping; 3x Surgilube sterile lubricant jelly; 1x 10cc Luer-Lock syringe for cuff inflation; 1x Easy Cap colorimetric CO2 detector (breath-to-breath response, single-use) for tube placement confirmation; and 4PR Blackmaxx Gloves size Large. Advanced provider only — requires advanced airway training and medical director authorization.

Why does the kit include three ET tube sizes?

The kit includes ET tube sizes 6 (cuffed), 7, and 8 to cover the full range of adult tracheal anatomy without requiring multiple separate tube purchases. Size 7 is the most common first-line choice for average adult females, while size 8 is typically used for larger adults and average adult males. The size 6 cuffed tube is appropriate for smaller-statured adult patients or in situations where tube selection must be made before confirming anatomy. Including all three sizes in a single kit means the provider never needs to resupply between tube selections, and medical kit builders can stock a single unit to cover all adult ET tube scenarios.

What role does the bougie play in this kit and when should it be used?

The 15Fr ET Tube Introducer (bougie) is a critical difficult-airway rescue adjunct. When direct or video-assisted laryngoscopy provides a limited glottic view (Grade III or IV — only epiglottis visible or no laryngeal structures visible), the bougie allows the provider to direct the tip into the trachea by feel using tactile feedback (tracheal clicks against tracheal rings) and then railroad the ET tube over the bougie into position. Evidence in emergency and prehospital medicine consistently shows that bougie-assisted intubation significantly improves first-pass success rates in difficult airways compared to tube-alone techniques. The 15Fr size is compatible with all three ET tube sizes in this kit.

Is endotracheal intubation CoTCCC-recommended in tactical settings?

CoTCCC does not recommend RSI prehospital, and routine endotracheal intubation is not a standard TCCC intervention for most tactical medical providers. ETI without RSI is appropriate only for deeply comatose patients with completely absent airway reflexes — typically encountered at TACEVAC-level care or by highly trained special operations medical providers. In civilian EMS, ETI with this kit requires paramedic-level advanced airway training and medical director protocol authorization. CoTCCC-recommended airway adjuncts for most tactical scenarios are the NPA 28Fr for initial airway management and BVM ventilation for respiratory support, with surgical airway as the definitive intervention when simpler methods fail.

How does the Easy Cap CO2 detector confirm correct ET tube placement?

The Easy Cap colorimetric CO2 detector provides rapid, visual tube placement confirmation without requiring waveform capnography equipment. The detector is attached to the proximal end of the ET tube immediately after intubation: correct endotracheal placement produces a purple-to-yellow color change with each breath cycle as exhaled CO2 contacts the pH-sensitive indicator (breath-to-breath response), while esophageal placement produces no colorimetric change because stomach gas does not contain significant CO2 in the same concentration. Colorimetric ETCO2 detection is the standard of care for tube placement confirmation in field environments where waveform capnography is unavailable and is included in this kit to prevent the most serious ETI complication — unrecognized esophageal intubation.
