Some cases of difficult airway intubation can be managed by using the Endotrol (trigger) endotracheal tube. This report describes such a case, in which the management of a difficult airway was facilitated initially by using the Endotrol tube; however, significant occlusion occurred approximately 16 hours later when the tube "kinked," leading to its partial collapse. The Endotrol tube has been used to maintain airways in critical and difficult situations, but its use for longer periods of intubation may need to be further studied.
一些困难气道插管病例可通过使用Endotrol（触发式）气管导管来处理。本报告描述了这样一例病例，其中起初使用Endotrol导管有助于困难气道的处理；然而，大约16小时后，当导管“扭结”导致部分塌陷时，出现了严重阻塞。Endotrol导管已被用于在危急和困难情况下维持气道，但它用于较长时间插管的情况可能需要进一步研究。
