It was reported that "during surgical procedure on a patient's foot, the physician appreciated what seemed to be an airway obstruction.The [physician] initially assumed there to be a sputum plug, so they attempted to remove.The ett [endotracheal tube] would not clear, so they inserted a bronchoscope and found that the ett had kinked/collapsed in the patient's airway.They were unable to resolve the issue, so they extubated and reintubated with a new ett.There were no reports of patient harm and the procedure was able to be completed.".
