UNUSUAL SITE OF OBSTRUCTION IN A FLEXOMETALLIC TUBE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 16
Abstract
Maxillofacial procedure such as LeFort I osteotomy requires Transmyelohyoid Intubation. For that initial intubation is done with Flexometallic Endotracheal Tube so that this tube can be easily brought out through transmyelohyoid incision. Frequently Flexometallic tubes are reused after Ethylene Oxide Sterilisation because of high Cost. Here we present an obstruction to endotracheal tube at an unusual location, (Deformity of the tube at the level of Cuff, with intact cuff).
