A 5-year-old boy had an emergence agitation and bucking to the endotracheal tube with a vigorous bite before extubation of the trachea. The whole uncuffed endotracheal tube was aspirated deep into the lower trachea causing laryngotracheal obstruction....

We report an incident where there was dissection of a reinforced endotracheal tube that led to its partial obstruction. This case shows an unexpected complication from reusing products intended for single use. A 62-yr-old female (weight 68 kg) who was scheduled for total laminectomy with posteri...
متن کاملEffect of Stabilizing Endotracheal Tube on Quality of Airway Management in Patients Hospitalized in ICU
Background: The unplanned departure of endotracheal tube is one of the main complications for endotracheal intubation. In addition to endotracheal extubation, its movement can also lead to damage to the oral cavity. Stabilizing endotracheal tube is the most important factor that can prevent unplanned departure of endotracheal tube as well as its movement. The current study was done with the aim...
