I understand that most non-medical people don’t know the difference between an endotrachial tube (ET) used for ventilation of the lungs that goes down the airway, vs anyone who has a nasogastric tube that deflates their stomach. They both do go down the throat - it’s just my peeve that this wasn’t clarified.
