AbstractA 22-year-old male patient had two episodes of oxygen desaturation with concomitant increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide and airway pressure while undergoing transoral odontoidectomy under fluoroscopy. Dynamic kinking of the flexometallic endotracheal tube from compression by a Dingman retractor was responsible. Fluoroscopic imaging was helpful in confirming the etiology of sudden alteration in the monitoring parameters.
