Non‐invasive ventilation and airway exchange catheter using a novel adapter in a difficult airway patient with post‐extubation respiratory failure

Abstract Post‐extubation respiratory failure in patients with difficult airway is considered a challenge for the health team. Some intratracheal devices such as airway exchange catheters (AECs) could be used during scheduled tube removing to ensure a rapid access to airway in the case of requiring e...

Some intratracheal devices such as airway exchange catheters (AECs) could be used during scheduled tube removing to ensure a rapid access to airway in the case of requiring emergent reintubation.

Mask interface was adequately sealed by using a novel tube adapter for NIMV and successful non‐invasive ventilation was provided while maintaining the AEC placed in the trachea until the emergency reintubation risk was overcome.https://doi.org/10.1002/rcr2.558Airway exchange catheterdifficult airwaynasoenteric tubesnon‐invasive ventilationpost‐extubation respiratory failure
