“…Extubation with a partially deflated cuff is a technique that can be performed to remove excessive tracheal fluid proximal to the inflated cuff and may reduce the risk of aspiration (Vance et al . ). It is often recommended in veterinary patients that have regurgitated during anaesthesia or where there is increased risk of aspiration of other fluids (blood, lavage fluid, saliva etc.).…”

A Dutch Warmblood, with no other underlying clinical disease, presented for surgical excision of a sarcoid tumour on the distal right pinna under general anaesthesia. At the end of the procedure, immediately before being moved to recovery, the horse became light and made repeated attempts to move whilst attached to the hoist. Anaesthesia was deepened with intravenous thiopental sodium (Thiopentone) 1 and the horse was moved into the recovery room. The trachea was extubated with the cuff of the endotracheal tube inadvertently left partially inflated. Recovery was smooth and the horse stood uneventfully. The following day subcutaneous emphysema was noted along the neck and tracheoscopy revealed an abnormal dorsoventrally flattened trachea and a 5 cm tear in the dorsal aspect of the trachea. Symptomatic treatment resulted in progressive healing of the lesion and the horse recovered fully with no evidence of respiratory complications.
