Abstract
The Cook airway exchange catheter(TM) is mainly used in ICU patients to exc hange endotracheal tubes. We report three cases where this device was used during anaesthesia in patients with damaged tubes in critical circumstances (oropharyngeal bleeding, head and neck surgery). It allowed a fast and atr aumatic exchange of the tubes. (C) 1998 Elsevier, Paris.
