In a resuscitation tube (1) comprising a tube wall for alternative artificial endotracheal or esophageal obturator respiration, with a first lumen (2) and a second lumen (3) extending substantially parallel thereto, wherein a first inflatable balloon (5) surrounding the tube wall is disposed in the region of the end of the resuscitation tube (1) facing the body, and a second inflatable balloon (8) surrounding the tube wall (22) is disposed at a separation from the first inflatable balloon (5), an axial opening (10) of the first lumen (2) is disposed directly at the end of the second balloon (8) facing the body, and the resuscitation tube (1) is formed with one lumen in the region of the first balloon (5). This permits insertion of intubation aids via the first lumen (2) such that the resuscitation tube can be used with versatility.
