Abstract

This case examines an unrecognized mainstem intubation resulting in tension pneumothorax physiology in a healthy young patient. We also cover tracheal anatomy, proper use and understanding of the laryngeal mask airway, the differential for the “inability to ventilate” scenario, correct airway mask technique, ideal positioning of the endotracheal tube, and the pharmacology of succinylcholine.
