An unexpected, potentially hazardous complication during the use of Robertshaw double-lumen endobronchial tubes is reported. A material defect causing obstruction of the lumen made endotracheal suction during surgery impossible even with very thin suction catheters. The authors recommend the internal diameter of double-lumen endobronchial tubes checking before intubation.
