Özet

Intra-operative air leaks via endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are not uncommon. However, it is interesting to know whatcaused the leak. It can be due to defects in the cuff, inflation tube, pilot balloon or inflation valve. We report anintriguing cause of air leak from a flexo-metallic ETT 1 hour after the commencement of surgery.
