Cuff Failure of Spiral-Filled Polyvinyl Chloride Endotracheal Tube Immediately after Tracheal Intubation Using a Channeled Videolaryngoscope (Pentax Airway Scope)

Cuff Failure of Spiral-Filled Polyvinyl Chloride Endotracheal Tube Immediately after Tracheal Intubation Using a Channeled Videolaryngoscope (Pentax Airway Scope)

We report on a case of mechanical damage to the spiral-filled polyvinyl chloride endotracheal tube that occurred shortly after tracheal intubation using a channeled videolaryngoscope (Pentax airway scope). We also found this problem in two other cases among 350 neurosurgery patients over the past 5...
