Chapter 87: Endobronchial Intubation - McGraw Hill Medical
Endobronchial intubation is the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in either the left or right mainstem bronchus. Unintentional endobronchial, or “mainstem,” intubation can lead to high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia.
Chapter 90: Endobronchial Intubation - McGraw Hill Medical
Endobronchial intubation is the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in either the left or right mainstem bronchus. Unintentional endobronchial, or “mainstem,” intubation can lead to high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia.
Chapter 33: Airway Management - McGraw Hill Medical
The endotracheal tube can be misplaced into the esophagus or mainstem bronchus (usually the right). Although this usually occurs at the time of intubation, it can occur after intubation. The tip of the endotracheal tube can move several centimeters as the result of flexion and extension of the neck—flexion moves the endotracheal tube tip ...

Left mainstem bronchus: Diverges at a 45° angle from the midline; It is longer (4–5 cm) and narrower than the right mainstem bronchus; Distally, there is the left mainstem carina, which marks the bifurcation into the LUL and LLL; Figure 202-8

Chapter 2: Anatomic Considerations - McGraw Hill Medical
The airway dimensions (short trachea, less acutely angled right main bronchi) of neonate and young children predispose them to mainstem intubation. Meticulous placement of the endotracheal tube is needed because of limited size.
Chapter 46: ANTERIOR MEDIASTINAL MASS - McGraw Hill Medical
CT scan, echocardiogram, and lung function tests are commonly obtained. Severe airway compression is indicated by a tracheal cross section <50% of predicted, severe narrowing at the level of a mainstem bronchus, or peak expiratory flow <50% of predicted.
