It was reported on a microcuff endotracheal tube (ett) kinked whilst a patient was in the prone position, with heavy neck flexion (chin towards chest).The patient was removed from the operating table so the endotracheal tube could be replaced.The patient was reintubated with a new device because the clinicians were unable to ventilate the patients successfully/efficiently.
