摘要：
We report a case in which endotracheal intubation performed for acute respiratory distress resulted in respiratory failure that completely resolved on removal of the endotracheal tube, with concomitant expulsion of a latex glove from the mouth. This case serves as a reminder that endotracheal intubation may promote the very complications that it is meant to prevent. Thorough visualization and careful inspection of the larynx before intubation of the trachea is essential.
