Features of the 18-mm devices include multidirectional mid body and/or tip angulation, two 5.5-mm accessory channels allowing the use of large (5-mm) flexible endosurgical instruments, as well as a 4-mm channel for an ultraslim prototype video endoscope (Pentax 4 mm).
The endoscope has two accessory channels of 2.2 mm and 0.85 mm diameter.
A therapeutic gastroscope with two accessory channels (GIF-2 T240; Olympus Medical Systems Co., Tokyo, Japan) was inserted into the stomach via an overtube (OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System; Apollo Endosurgery Inc .. First, the stomach was carefully lavaged with water.
One recommended non-pharmacological measure reduces microaspirations by using an endotracheal tube with an accessory channel that allows subglottic secretions accumulated above the endotracheal cuff to be removed.
All patients included in the study were intubated with tracheal tubes with an accessory channel for subglottic aspiration (Mallinckrodt™ TaperGuard™ Evac; Covidien Healthcare; Mansfield, MA, USA).
Methods: A 2.6-mm diameter OCT catheter delivered through the accessory channel of a duodenoscope was used to acquire images of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts in 5 patients.

This configuration offers many benefits, particularly for gastrointestinal applications because the endomicroscopic probe is directly coupled through an accessory channel of conventional clinical endoscopes and thus the scanning laser beam is parallel to an endoscopic camera.
We excluded patients transferred from hospitals who were intubated with endotracheal tubes without accessory channel that allows subglottic aspiration, those with a history of tracheostomy or tracheal lesions (including laryngeal surgery), those intubated > 48 h in the 30 days prior to the current admission and those enrolled in other trials.
