Endotracheal Tube (ETT) suction is necessary to clear secretions, to maintain patency, to optimize oxygenation and ventilation in an intubated patient. The goal of ETT suctioning should be to maximize the amount of secretion removed with minimal adverse effects. We report an unusual case of suction catheter impaction while endotracheal suctioning.
