After a brief review of classical and modern methods of sterilisation of endo-tracheal catheters, where they emphasize the dangers of the use of ethylene oxide, the authors recall the common procedure which they used: washing with water and soap, and soaking for 6 to 7 hours in formaldehyde or in a solution of quaternary ammonium salts, and all manipulations should be made using gloves.
