Unanticipated 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 کاملVentilation difficulty due to herniation of inflating tube of the cuff inside the endotracheal tube.
The complications due to airway equipments remain to be one of the most challenging situations for the anesthesiologists. Any part of an endotracheal tube may cause a risk when it leads to an obstruction in the airway. Here, we present an increased airway pressure due to herniation of inflating tube of the cuff inside an armored (wire reinforced) endotracheal tube during neurosurgery in prone p...
متن کامل[Atraumatic endotracheal tube for mechanical ventilation].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients who need to stay under endotracheal intubation for long periods or when undergoing general anesthesia may develop tracheal lumen injuries due to pressure from distal cuff. In some cases, these injuries may evolve to stenosis or, occasionally, necrosis. The objective of this study was to present a modified endotracheal tube (METT) in which the cuff pressure is ...
متن کاملEndotracheal 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 کاملVentilator autocycling due to an endotracheal tube cuff leak.
Ventilator autocycling can occur with any ventilator if the sensitivity is improperly set or if a gas leak exists in the respiratory system which creates a negative change in proximal airway pressure. We report a case of ventilator autocycling in a paralyzed patient secondary to an endotracheal cuff leak which was misconstrued as assisted ventilation. We believe this is the first report of auto...
