Abstract
A simple method to facilitate exchange of a damaged tracheal tube is described. The technique entails the passage of a flexible stilette 4 mm in diameter through a damaged tracheal tube, which is then removed and replaced with a new sterile one passed over the stilette. The technique can be used in conscious or unconscious patients. A case report is included to illustrate application of the technique.Entities:
