Tracheobronchial ruptures due to cuffed Carlens tubes

N Guernelli, RB Bragaglia, A Briccoli, M Mastrorilli and R Vecchi

At our institution in the past 22 years, more than 3,000 patients have undergone chest procedures, and 2,700 of them were intubated with a cuffed Carlens endotracheal tube. In this paper we report on 5 patients with tracheobronchial ruptures caused by intubation with these tubes. We believe this hazard should be brought to the attention of physicians.
