[Intraoperative exchange of the endotracheal tube using the Cook C-CAE airway exchange catheter].
The Cook airway exchange catheter is mainly used in ICU patients to exchange endotracheal tubes. We report three cases where this device was used during anaesthesia in patients with damaged tubes in critical circumstances (oropharyngeal bleeding, head and neck surgery). It allowed a fast and atraumatic exchange of the tubes.
