Ravinder Thakur, Ashish Minhas, Shyam Bhandari
Abstract :
Cuffed endotracheal tube is the gold standard of airway control in anaesthetized patients and in those patients, who have unprotected cough reflex. Along with the expertise in technique of insertion of endotracheal tube, its physical as well as functional integrity is essential. According to anaesthesia (ASA/ASTM) standards, pre checking of endotracheal tube (ETT) is must, which involves visual inspection along with observation of inflated cuff. We here describe a case of manufacturing defect in endotracheal tube which could not be detected by routine endotracheal tube checking.
