- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 36-year-old woman who was scheduled for elective laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. During the surgery, the endotracheal tube (ETT) of the patient was removed after continuous air leakage was observed due to cuff leak. The use of smaller tube and inadequate cuff inflation are also considered as reasons for air leakage around the cuff.
