Cuffed Pediatric ET Tubes now mandatory

A reminder that effective today (May 1, 2020), all endotracheal tubes carried by Maine EMS licensed services must be cuffed.  Maine EMS no longer allows the use of uncuffed pediatric ET tubes. This change is the end of the transition period from the Fall of 2019 change.
