ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction:
The maintenance of ventilation through the endotracheal tube during surgery is essential, and failure to do so can cause serious consequences. Case Report: We experienced a case of intraoral kinking of the polyvinyl chloride, single-lumen endotracheal tube (ETT) in a patient with severe tracheal deviation caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. During surgery, the operation table was tilted upward and to the left, which caused change in patient’s head position and led to intraoral kinking. Conclusion: If there is a severe tracheal deviation expected to cause deformity of the ETT, it is recommended to use a reinforced tube. | |
