The device for monitoring the EMG signal of the patient's larynx includes an endotracheal tube with an outer surface. A conductive ink electrode is formed on the outer surface of the endotracheal tube. The conductive ink electrode is configured to receive an EMG signal from the larynx when the endotracheal tube is placed in the patient's airways. At least one conductor is coupled to the conductive ink electrode and configured to transfer the EMG signal received by the conductive ink electrode to the processing apparatus. |
