A first electrode is formed on the exterior surface of the endotracheal tube substantially below the first location. A second electrode is formed on the exterior surface of the endotracheal tube substantially above the first location. The first and second electrodes are configured to receive the EMG signals from the laryngeal muscles when the endotracheal tube is placed in a trachea of the patient.17/22 mm C14 U0 Coj C C14 coC" c C coC CD LOo Co: U ->I - \ C coo C-.)
