چکیده
RATIONALE Various factors can cause ventilatory failure after endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation, which is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. PATIENT CONCERNS A 76-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a hemopericardium and suspicion of a major-vessel injury due to dislocation of the clavicular fracture fixation screw. DIAGNOSIS Non-resterilized reinforced ETT obstruction caused by a structural defect. INTERVENTION Endotracheal tube was exchanged. OUTCOMES The ventilator profile showed rapid improvement. LESSONS Anesthesiologists should consider that a non-resterilized reinforced ETT may be defective. An ETT defect can cause high PIP and ETT obstruction without kinking or foreign materials.

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...
