Chapter 87: Endobronchial Intubation - McGraw Hill Medical
Endobronchial intubation is the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in either the left or right mainstem bronchus. Unintentional endobronchial, or “mainstem,” intubation can lead to high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia.

Initial chest x-ray shows an endotracheal tube in the right main bronchus/bronchus intermedius with complete opacification left hemithorax and shift of the mediastinum to the left indicating complete atelectasis left lung. NG tube coiled in the hypopharynx/proximal esophagus.

2012年2月7日 · If you intubate somebody and you don’t hear breath sounds clearly on the left side, first thing you should say is, how deep is the endotracheal tube? It it’s at 18 or 16 cm at the lips it probably can NOT be pulled back in an adult, and a main stem intubation is probably not the problem. Most endotracheal tubes will be at 22 to 24 at the lips.
