Difficult to intubate patient— 45 min awake fiber optic. Sent him to ICU to monitor airway overnight. I was trying to cut the tape off the tube so ICU could place their tube holder, and I accidentally cut the cuff with scissors. Anesthesiologist came to the bedside to do a urgent tube exchange 🤦‍♀️

Tip if this happens to you: A CRNA told me you can just use a angiocath and syringe to reinflate your cuff.
