چکیده
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 obstruction and problems due to the tube should be recognized and rectified immediately. We report an unusual case of endotracheal tube (ETT) blockage with a caseous necrotic material in a patient with spinal tuberculosis with no signs and symptoms BLOCKINof BLOCKINpulmonary BLOCKINtuberculosis.

Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane: a rare condition in postextubation stridor.
Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane (OFTP) is an airway complication that occurs after endotracheal intubation. It originates from superficial mucosal abrasion and desquamation of necrotic tracheal epithelium at the site of cuff pressure. This condition is a rare cause of postextubation stridor. We present a case of postextubation stridor secondary to OFTP, resulting in clinical featu...

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...

Introduction: In 1941, Murphy introduced an intratracheal catheter with a side vent (“Murphy eye”) to prevent complete airway obstruction should the distal end of the endotracheal tube become occluded (1). Various complications associated with the presence of the Murphy eye have been reported, including the lodging of fiberoptic bronchoscopes (2,3) and suction catheters (4) in the Murphy eye ne...
متن کاملAspiration of a dislodged endotracheal tube: a rare cause of acute total airway obstruction.
We report an unusual cause of acute total airway obstruction after aspiration of a dislodged tube that was separated from its metallic connector. 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....
