After proper insertion of an intact leftsided Robertshaw endotracheal tube an acute block of the right main bronchus occurred in two patients. The cause was seen in too short a distance between the upper tracheal and the lower bronchial cuff of the tube. In case of a greater distance between the cuff-bearing segments this problem was never encountered. A careful measurement of all Robertshaw tubes demonstrated segments of various length between the upper and lower cuffs. Information from the manufacturer Malinckrodt New York/Grossostheim revealed that this problem has been solved by standardized segments of greater length. Also the Portex company Hythe/Hamburg appears to be aware of this problem.
在正确插入完好的左侧罗伯特肖气管导管后，两名患者出现了右主支气管急性阻塞。原因是气管导管的上气管套囊与下支气管套囊之间的距离过短。当带套囊节段之间的距离较大时，从未遇到过这个问题。对所有罗伯特肖气管导管进行仔细测量发现，上下套囊之间的节段长度各不相同。来自制造商纽约马林克罗特/格罗斯托伊姆的信息显示，这个问题已通过采用更长的标准化节段得到解决。海斯/汉堡的波特克斯公司似乎也意识到了这个问题。
