Excerpt

Wire reinforcement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) is designed to prevent kinking and bending of the ETT, which cause obstruction and increased airway pressure. Reinforced ETTs are used in several settings, including for some patients in a prone position.1,2 These ETTs are extremely flexible, however, so inserting and advancing them without a stylet can be quite difficult. Here, we present a case of a reinforced ETT impinging on the wall of the trachea, making ventilation difficult. We received written consent from the patient to report this event. …
