Abstract

Dealing with respiratory failure associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not an uncommon scenario in intensive care units (ICUs). We present the case of an elderly man presenting to the emergency department (ED) with an infective exacerbation of COPD due to community acquired pneumonia. This case highlights an unexpected event following definitive airway management and its clinical course.
