| Abstract: | We experienced the combustion of the endotracheal tube during a bronchoscopic potassium titanyl phosphate laser resection of an intratracheal metastatic tumor. Some preventive precautions have been reported, however, none of them are absolutely perfect. We report the rare occurrence of tracheal tube ignition, preventive measures and treatment strategies for the resultant airway burn. |
