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 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 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 کاملEndotracheal tube extubation force: adhesive tape versus endotracheal tube holder.
BACKGROUND Adhesive tape is commonly used to secure the endotracheal tube (ETT) in anesthesia and intensive-care settings. OBJECTIVE To determine the force required to extubate when the ETT is secured with adhesive tape or commercially available ETT holders. METHODS We orally intubated a simulation manikin with a standard 8.0-mm inner-diameter ETT, inflated the cuff to 20 cm H(2)O, and mea...
