A J Sweatman, and P A Tomasello, and M G Loughhead, and M Orr, and T Datta

Accidental invasion of the trachea past an inflated cuff may occur more easily when endotracheal tubes with soft, low pressure cuffs are used. A new, simple and safe technique for blind oesophageal intubation is outlined. Two cases of accidental invasion of the trachea by oesophageal tubes are described.
