Airway obstruction due to intraoperative endotracheal tube cuff herniation: case report
Endotracheal tube obstruction by blood, mucus material or kinking is not uncommon however endotracheal cuff herniation is an extremely rare condition. It could easily be overlooked and may cause airway obstruction. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard method of diagnosis.
