Fig. 2

The scheme of simulated positional relationships between tracheal diverticula and the tracheal tube during tracheal intubation where the vocal cord guide overlaps with the patient’s vocal cord and characteristics of the trachea, tracheal diverticula and tracheal tubes assessed in this study. DV1: tracheal diverticulum which is located distal to the distal end of tracheal cuff and at risk of receiving positive-pressure ventilation. DV2: tracheal diverticulum which is located proximal to the distal end of tracheal cuff and prevented from receiving positive-pressure ventilation
