Event Description

According to the reporter, the catheter was stuck during extubating.The esophageal catheter was sterilized and calibrated as per protocol.The catheter was inserted via the right nostril without any resistance to 52 centimeters.The procedure went well with routine water swallows without any complications.At the conclusion of the study, as the customer was pulling the catheter out, it got stuck at 46 centimeters and would not retrieve further.At the 46 centimeter mark, a small tear on the plastic sheath was visible.A decision was made to investigate further under endoscopic guidance.The patient was swiftly moved to the endoscopy room and was anesthetized under general anesthetic with an endotracheal tube inserted.The endoscope went into the esophagus and the tip of the catheter was sitting above the cardio esophageal junction as expected.No mechanical obstruction was seen in the entire esophagus or in the oropharynx.The white part of the catheter was not visualized and the "obstruction" was felt to be in the nasal passage.Eyes, nose, and throat.(ent) specialist was called and they came after around 30 minutes.They examined the nasal passage using a flexible n aso-endoscopy.The patient has a deviated septum to the right nostril and enlarged turbinate.The torn plastic sheath was felt to be caught in the narrow passage preventing the catheter from being removed.Ent gradually maneuvered the catheter under visualization and managed to retrieve it with the sheath intact.No forceps were required.There was no immediate complication and the patient recovered well post-operatively apart from nasal congestion and sore throat.The patient had trauma to the nasal passage.The procedure was delayed for 2 hours.
