Abstract
A case is reported of acute airway obstruction arising from the use of a tracheal tube wrapped with aluminum tape during laryngeal surgery with a carbon dioxide laser. Problems associated with aluminum tape wrapping of tracheal tubes are discussed. Les auteurs rapportent un cas ďobstruction des voies respiratoires causée par ľemploi ďune sonde endotrachéale recouverte ďun ruban adhésif ďaluminium pendant une opération effectuée sous laser au gaz carbonique. Ils discutent des problèmes causés par le recouvrement des sondes endotrachéales par du ruban adhésif ďaluminium.Keywords
