Endotracheal 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 کاملReversible airway obstruction caused by changing the size and length of an endotracheal tube in a premature neonate with suspected tracheomalacia -A case report-
Tracheomalacia is a malformation of the tracheal membranosa. It is maintained during spontaneous breathing but can be altered by bronchoscopy or positive airway pressure. Tracheomalacia is associated with a high mortality and may cause prolonged intubation and ventilation. Here, the case of a 13-day-old infant with jejunoileal stenosis that had surgery is reported. During induction of general a...
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...
متن کاملMeconium Aspiration Syndrome – The Core Concept of Pathophysiology during Resuscitation
Aspiration of meconium produces a syndrome (Meconium Aspiration Syndrome MAS) characterized by hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. Perinatal hypoxia, acute airway obstruction, pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulm onary hypertension, and surfactant inactivation all play a role in the pathogenesis of MAS. Most aspiration of meconium probably occurs before birth. Following asp...
متن کاملComparing the Effectiveness of a Novel Suction Set-up Using an Adult Endotracheal Tube Connected to a Meconium Aspirator vs. a Traditional Yankauer Suction Instrument.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that an adult 8.0 endotracheal tube (ETT) connected to a neonatal meconium aspirator would improve suctioning during emergent endotracheal intubation compared to the Yankauer suction instrument, the standard tool used by emergency physicians. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of a Yankauer vs. an ETT-meconium aspirator set-up in s...
