MalfunctionMay 22, 2025Obstruction of Flow; Obstruction of Flow
IT WAS REPORTED THAT WHEN THE PATIENT WAS INTUBATED AND A SUCTION CATHETER WAS INSERTED INTO THE LUMEN OF THE ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE, THE SUCTION TUBE COULD NOT BE INSERTED. UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE LUMEN WAS TOO NARROW, THE SUCTION TUBE WAS REINTUBATED USING A LARGER SIZE OF 2.5, AND THE TUBE HAD TO BE REMOVED, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A FOREIGN OBJECT HAD ENTERED THE LUMEN OF THE TUBE. THE TUBE WAS REPLACED.
Patient problems: Unintended Extubation

THE INTUBATION THROUGH THE 2.5 TUBE COULD NOT PASS THE VOCAL CORDS, SO A 2.0 TUBE WAS USED. AS THE 2.0 TUBE DID NOT HAVE A LATERAL CHANNEL FOR INTRATRACHEAL THERAPY DELIVERY (OR SCREW ¿COBB¿), IT WAS NECESSARY TO PASS THE THERAPY THROUGH THE TUBE. THE DOCTOR PUT THE SYRINGE TIP DIRECTLY INTO THE TUBE TO PUSH THE SURFACTANT FOR FASTER DELIVERY COMPARED TO DELIVERY BY PUTTING A SUCTION PROBE IN THE TUBE AND INJECTING INTO THE SUCTION PROBE. HOWEVER, BY REMOVING THE TIP CONNECTED TO THE BAVU, THE SOLID PART OF THE TIP BECAME SEVERED AND REMAINED STUCK IN THE TUBING. THIS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ADMINISTER THE CUROSURF DRUG AND VE
