请求前辈们解释"Sengstaken-Blakemore tube" key points. Why should cut the
balloon ports and remove the tube when the pt. is in respiratory distress. I
think they are two different systems. Thanks!

Do you mean that why scissors have to be kept when insert the Sengstaken-
Blakemore tube?
if you mean that scissors are kept near patient at all times in case
balloons migrate superiorly and cause respiratory obstruction in non
intubated patients. The whole tube can be cut and removed, remembering to
grasp the tube between the patient and scissors.
