TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Endobronchial Intubation A1 - De Marchi, Lorenzo A2 - Freeman, Brian S. A2 - Berger, Jeffrey S. PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Endobronchial intubation is the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in either the left or right mainstem bronchus. Unintentional endobronchial, or “mainstem,” intubation can lead to high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia. However, the ETT may also be placed into the mainstem bronchus intentionally for surgery. In addition, endobronchial intubation may be useful in managing patients with unilateral lung pathology and is essential in certain emergency situations.
