چکیده
Sir, Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PCT) even though has appropriately replaced the surgical tracheostomy by far in critical care settings, yet the fact that it accompanies a myriad of both trivial and nontrivial complications cannot be denied. One such complication already mentioned in literature includes inadvertent migration of guidewire into the Murphy’s eye of endotracheal tube (ETT) during PCT.[1]
