In situations where ETT exchange or reintubation may pose a significant risk to the patient, temporary repair of the severed cuff tubing can be helpful until it is safe to address the problem with replacing the ETT. Simple and effective repair methods can be achieved using readily available materials in the operating room, including intravenous cannulas, hypodermic syringes, and epidural clamp connectors. However, choosing which technique or method depends mainly on personal preference, equipment availability, and provider comfort and experience. We present a 12-year-old adolescent who presented for anesthetic care for extensive burn injury. During removal of the dressing around the head and face, the tubing of the pilot balloon of the ETT was inadvertently cut. Options for dealing with such problems are discussed, including techniques to allow for temporary repair and re-inflation of the deflated cuff.Keywords: endotracheal tube, pilot balloon, pediatric airwayOwusu-Bediako KTurner III HSyed OTobias JDove Medical Pressarticleendotracheal tubepilot balloonpediatric airwayMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 14, Pp 265-269 (2021)
