Faulty construction of a reinforced latex endotracheal tube.
SUMMARY This paper describes a fault in the cuff of a reinforced latex endotracheal tube, where the cuff splits into layers. On attempting to deflate the cuff, the pilot balloon subsides but not the cuff itself. The cause of this fault is examined, and, by implication, steps to eliminate it during manufacture suggested. It would appear that not all such available latex endotracheal tubes are po...
متن کاملWire-reinforced endotracheal tube fire during tracheostomy -A case report-
Every operation could have a fire emergency, especially in the case of a tracheostomy. When a flammable gas meets a source of heat, the danger of fire is remarkable. A tracheal tube filled with a high concentration of oxygen is also a great risk factor for fire. Intra-tracheal tube fire is a rare, yet critical emergency with catastrophic consequences. Thus, numerous precautions are taken during...
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 کاملPlain endotracheal tube insertion carries greater risk for malpositioning than does reinforced endotracheal tube insertion in females
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Malpositioning of an endotracheal tube within the airway can lead to serious complications, such as endobronchial intubation, which may cause collapse of the nonventilated lung and barotrauma of the ventilated lung or vocal cord paralysis and accidental extubation [1]. We retrospectively identified 204 (54 plain tubes and 54 reinforced tubes in m...
