Endotracheal intubation facilitates to keep the airway. But unfortunately, we are confronted with complications of endotracheal intubation, occasionally. The authors experienced a case of segmental bronchial obstruction with mucus plug and successfully remedied by fiberoptic bronchoscopic aspiration through the endotracheal tube.
