Manufacturing defects in ETT like defect in the one-way inflation valve, inflation tube, pilot balloon and cuff etc can often be identified through visual inspection and cuff inflation testing prior to insertion. Nevertheless, certain manufacturing defects in ETT might elude detection prior to intubation. Presented herein, is a case in which an air leak occurred after insertion, though the ETT inflation system had been checked and found to be satisfactory prior to intubation.
