Abstract
Accidental ingestion or aspiration of foreign bodies during endotracheal intubation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. This report highlights the accidental ingestion of a laryngoscope bulb during emergency intubation and its successful management. A 58-year-old male with multiple comorbidities, underwent endotracheal intubation for hypoxia (Spo2 – 72%), tachypnea and respiratory distress. Post-intubation, an X-ray revealed a laryngoscope bulb in the stomach, which was naturally expelled via the stool. Proper equipment checks before and after intubation are crucial, and guidelines should address the management of foreign body ingestion or aspiration during intubation.
