Additional information was provided on 13jan2021: it was reported that the cook guidewire could only be placed in the trachea cannula with extreme force.This resulted in delayed placement of the cannula after the newly created tracheostoma was already dilated.The patient was adequately preoxygenated and there was no significant drop in peripheral oxygen saturation.The physician involved in the case noted that an alternative suitable sized cannula could have been used or the patient could have continued to be ventilated via the endotracheal tube.The physician reported that there was no immediate risk.
