摘要

A 50-year-old male with motor neuron disease, who has had a cuffed tracheostomy for 2 months and is on home ventilation, was admitted with respiratory distress. On admission, he has labored breathing, low oxygen saturation, and diminished air entry in his right lung. It was difficult to negotiate a suction catheter. An emergent change of the tracheostomy tube was done with relief of dyspnea.
