title: Hazard of non reinforced pre-formed tracheal tubes.
abstract: A near fatal accident is described with a non reinforced RAE tube, used because of fear of accidents previously described using armoured tubes and because of the more easy adaptation possibilities with the new RAE tubes. This report states that there is still a place for reinforced tubes.
