    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Critical Care
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Sudden cardiac arrest necessitates emergency airway management.
    • Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure for securing the airway.
    • Proper tube placement is essential for effective ventilation.

    Observation:

    • A 78-year-old woman presented to the emergency department post-cardiac arrest.
    • Physical exam revealed diminished breath sounds on the right side.
    • Portable chest radiography was performed for confirmation.

    Findings:

    • The chest radiograph confirmed endotracheal tube malposition.
    • The tube was lodged in the left mainstem bronchus.
    • This represents a rare complication of endotracheal intubation.

    Implications:

    • Left mainstem bronchus intubation can lead to severe hypoxemia and barotrauma.
    • Prompt recognition and correction are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • This case highlights the importance of vigilant post-intubation assessment.
