Endobronchial intubation technique and airway morbidity.
airway morbidity Editor—We read the interesting article by Seo and colleagues about the study comparing two techniques of double-lumen endobronchial intubation. We have a few queries. First, the authors have not mentioned if any lubrication or softening technique was used to prepare the double-lumen tube (DLT) before placement to prevent airway morbidity. Secondly, the authors have not mentione...
متن کاملPoint-of-care sonographic detection of left endobronchial main stem intubation and obstruction versus endotracheal intubation.
OBJECTIVE Determining the correct position of endotracheal tubes in critically ill patients may be complicated by external factors such as noise, body habitus, and the need for ongoing resuscitation. Multiple detection techniques have been developed to determine the correct endotracheal tube position, recently including the use of sonography to evaluate lung expansion and diaphragmatic excursio...
متن کاملGiant Endobronchial Inflammatory Polyp
Inflammatory endobronchial polyp is a rare disease mostly encountered in asthmatic patients. Chronic airway and foreign material irritation or thermal injury may result in the formation of granulated tissues and become polypoid mass. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old man with severe respiratory distress and infection with 35 years history of smoking. He had an obstructive pattern in his pulmona...
متن کامل"Detachment of the carinal hook following endobronchial intubation with a double lumen tube"
BACKGROUND Carinal hooks increases difficulty at endotracheal intubation. Amputation of the carinal hook during passage and malpositioning of the tube to the hook are some of the potential problems related with left-sided Carlens double lumen tube (DLT). This article reports an amputation of the hook during a difficult selective intubation and aimed at calling the attention to complications ass...
متن کاملContinuous monitoring of dynamic pulmonary compliance enables detection of endobronchial intubation in infants and children.
BACKGROUND Auscultation of breath sounds is used routinely to confirm tracheal placement of endotracheal tubes (ETT). In infants and children, this method is limited by the conduction of breath sounds bilaterally, despite endobronchial intubation. Although several methods of detecting endobronchial intubation have been described, none is both simple and reliable. In this investigation, we deter...
