Abstract
Armored endotracheal tubes are often used during cases in which there is a risk of compromise of a polyvinylchloride tube with positioning o f a patient's head. The authors describe a case in which partial airwa y obstruction and perforation of such a tube occurred as a result of b iting by a patient. Ways to avoid this complication are discussed.
