Event Description

According to the reporter, they had a capsule which failed to attach to the patient¿s esophagus and went in the patient¿s lungs.During deployment attempt in the patient, upon pushing the plunger for deployment (prior to plunger rotation), there seemed to be more resistance than normal, and there seemed to be an unusually crunchy/gritty tactile sensation.After device removal, it was noticed that the capsule had come into the mouth, and when they were about to retrieve it, the capsule was aspirated into the lungs, and the patient subsequently desaturated and stopped breathing.The patient's heart rate dropped to the 30's, and systolic blood pressure dropped to the 60's, also the saturation dropped to about 3%, then cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was performed.An emergent bronchoscopy was performed and the capsule was successfully retrieved with forceps.The patient was extubated without needing to go to intensive care unit and just stayed in step-down for observation overnight.Lubrication was used to facilitate the placement of the capsule.
