Read the case, answer out loud as if the examiner were across the table, then check the model answer.
A 46-year-old woman, 70 kg, is having CO2 laser excision of laryngeal papillomas under general anesthesia. She is intubated with a laser-resistant tube whose cuff is filled with saline tinted with methylene blue, and you are ventilating with 30% oxygen in air. Forty minutes in, the surgeon shouts that there is a flame at the tip of the tube, and you see smoke in the circuit.
