It was reported that while in use on a patient, "the pediatric bronchoscope doesn't go well inside the ett".As a result, the patient was extubated and re-intubated with another ett.Additional information received on 5 may 2023 states that "the patient did not desaturate.There was no harm to the throat nor the superior airway.The problem was the impossibility to confirm proper positioning because the bronchoscope could not enter the tube.The problem did not occur during the intubation, but while verifying proper positioning in the bronchus for surgery.They had to extubate the patients to change the dbl tube to be able to enter the bronchoscope in the tube.Therefore, an extubating process was needed and then reintubation (unnecessary if the problem did not occurred with the left 35 dbl tube".
