In today's episode, we discuss challenges in the diagnosis and management of oesophageal intubation and anaesthetic crises in general. Recognising an oesophageal intubation may seem simple, but by looking at coroner's cases both here in Australia and in the UK, as well as cases in the NAP4, it can be far more complex.
