Endotracheal Tube Obstruction: A Manufacturing Defect.
Various manufacturing defects of endotracheal tubes are encountered in anaesthesia practice. One of the important defects of an endotracheal tube is that a partial or complete obstruction can be potentially life-threatening. Manufacturing defects may not be ascertainable by routine inspection. In this case report, we report a partial airway obstruction caused by a plastic membrane in the connec...
متن کاملUnanticipated ventilation obstruction due to a defective reinforced endotracheal tube.
Wire-reinforced endotracheal tubes are used to prevent obstruction. Risk factors related to reinforced endotracheal tube obstruction were believed to be repeatedly used tube and in presence of N2O. In our case, even in free of these risk factors, a delayed tube obstruction occurred with the progress of surgical duration. This delay suggests that the obstruction was caused by diffusion of warm a...
متن کاملComplete Obstruction of Endotracheal Tube in an Infant with a Retropharyngeal and Anterior Mediastinal Abscess
Intraoperative ventilatory failure is not an uncommon complication; however, acute endotracheal obstruction by a foreign body or blood clot can be difficult to quickly discriminate from other causes. Once the diagnosis is made, quick action is needed to restore ventilation. The ultimate solution is to exchange the endotracheal tube; however, there can be other ways of resolving this in situatio...
متن کاملUnusual case of endotracheal tube obstruction by caseous necrotic material
Unusual case of endotracheal tube obstruction by caseous necrotic material Sir, Tuberculosis is a social disease with medical implications. In spinal tuberculosis, surgery is performed for either deformities and neurologic deficits and/or drainage of cold abscess. Endotracheal intubation is the cornerstone in the anesthesia practice; however, the tube itself may become a source of airway obstru...
متن کاملAbdominal Splenosis: An Unusual Cause of Bowel Obstruction in a 7-Year-Old Child
Splenosis is a rare condition defined as a heterotopic auto-transplantation of splenic tissue, typically after blunt abdominal trauma. It can occur anywhere in the abdominal cavity, or even the chest. Splenosis found in clinical practice is relatively rare because most patients are asymptomatic. We report a rare case of abdominal splenosis in a 7-year-old boy, 3 years after an abdominal blunt t...
