  • Title: Tracheobronchial ruptures due to cuffed Carlens tubes.
    Author: Guernelli N, Bragaglia RB, Briccoli A, Mastrorilli M, Vecchi R.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1979 Jul; 28(1):66-7. PubMed ID: 454046.
    Abstract:
    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.
