Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Foreign bodies in the esophagus can result in serious complications depending on the size and shape of the ingested body. This report presents an unusual esophageal foreign body (endotracheal tube) caused by a physician who was inexperienced in endotracheal intubation during the treatment of generalized convulsive status epilepticus. When the patient was transferred to our hospital, rigid esophagoscopy was used to extract the endotracheal tube. There were no complications.
