Schematic of the mechanism of occlusion of the endotracheal tube. Suspected three-stage mechanism of airway obstruction. a Pre-intubation condition of the airway containing a clot around the insertion site of a mini-tracheostomy tube. b The clot falling into the trachea when the mini-tracheostomy tube was removed. c Lower airway obstruction caused by a clot.
