Spontaneous Extubation

A Case Report

*Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637. Paper received: 2/23/76 Accepted for publication: 8/31/76

Abstract

Passive extubation occurred unexpectedly 2 hours after induction of anesthesia for repair of intraocular injuries in a 3-year-old infant. A bourdon effect is proposed following herniation of the cuff above the vocal cords, with gradual ejection of the tube from the relatively confined trachea and larynx into the more accommodating pharynx.
