- Abstract
Disposable endotracheal tubes are being mass-produced with PVC material. Although it is a rare finding that an endotracheal tube may have a manufacturing defects, sporadic case reports published in scientific journals draw our attention, that alyhough rare, yet this possibility must be kept in mind by every clinician who intends to intubate a patient. The tube must be thoroughly checked before insertion, and any inadequacy in ventilation after insertion, must prompt us to recheck the breathing system, which may have to be replaced.
