We experienced difficulty in ventilating the lungs of a patient after tracheal intubation. After intubation, an insufficient amount of tidal volume (V(T)) was delivered to the patient and the fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination identified partial abutment of the endotracheal tube (ETT) orifice against the tracheal wall. After various attempts to correctly place the ETT, a double-lumen endotracheal tube was placed to achieve a sufficient V(T). It is important to notice that even an appropriately placed ETT may get obstructed due to the left sided bevel at its tip.
我们在为气管插管后的患者进行通气时遇到了困难。插管后,患者的潮气量(V(T))不足,纤维支气管镜检查发现气管导管(ETT)口部分贴壁。在多次尝试正确放置 ETT 后,插入了双腔气管导管以实现足够的 V(T)。需要注意的是,即使 ETT 放置位置适当,其尖端的左侧斜面也可能导致其阻塞。
