Uncommon Cause of Endotracheal Tube Obstruction during Anesthesia Recovery

Abstract

Acute endotracheal tube (ETT) obstruction is not an uncommon event during surgery, but under certain circumstances, it can be life-threatening. It can arise for a variety of reasons. In this case study, we present an event of endotracheal tube obstruction in a pediatric surgery case during anesthesia recovery. Early detection and prompt response are the keys to successful management.
