Too much of anything is bad: An unusual case of a stuck endotracheal tube with deflated cuff
Sir, Difficulty in extubation due to mechanical issues in the endotracheal tube (ETT) is not
uncommon in clinical practice. Difficulty in the removal of ETT was mostly related to the
failure of cuff deflation.[1] Sometimes because of a distorted anatomy of the larynx, ETT
might get stuck which needed a twisting and turning manipulation for removal.[2] A case of
difficult extubation due to a manufacturing defect of ETT has been also reported.[3] In
another case report, difficult extubation has been reported due to an entanglement of a …
