Abstract: In 1791 Curry designed an endotracheal tube similar to Charles Kite’s.
He further described other instruments which also seemed to be based on
those which Kite had described. Curry’s primary purpose was to enable
non-medical persons to handle emergencies of apparent death before
medical help became available.
