The eight suffered little or no painfrom the presence of the tube, nor was the cough particularlytroublesome. Four coughed but very little. In one, the pres-ence of the tube in the larnyx did not excite cough ; on the con-trary, there was less coughing than before the tube was in-troduced. In one case the tube was coughed out, and a largertube was introduced, which remained until the child died fromextension of the exudate below the tube. In no case was theresubsequent obstruction above the tube. In one case the ob-struction seemed to be in the fauces and pharynx, and I fearedthat tracheotomy would be necessary, but deep tubing gaveprompt relief. In two cases, while pressing the tube downdeep into the larynx, it was felt to slip by an obstruction andpass beyond reach. In these two cases I believe the head ofthe tube was lodged in the ventricle of the larynx, resting uponthe true vocal cords. (See pages 510 to 516 for other Intubation Apparatus.).
