Reinforced endotracheal tube placement: radiographic misdiagnosis.

February 1987

The position of an armored endotracheal tube was misinterpreted on radiographs. This occurred because no one recognized that there was no radiopaque line extending to the tip of the catheter. Physicians should be aware of this possible pitfall, and manufacturers should remedy the situation by marking such lines on these tubes.
