1 Gap size differences between the fiberoptic bronchoscope and a standard endotracheal tube (ETT) are shown. Gap size differences between the fiberoptic bronchoscope and a standard endotracheal tube (ETT) are shown. Poor size matching with a large gap (at left) can result in the leading edge of the ETT contacting and becoming caught on glottic structures as it passes through the cords over the bronchoscope. Smaller gap (at right) reduces the risk of entrapment and trauma to the glottic structures. Stephen R Collins, and Randal S Blank Respir Care 2014;59: (c) 2012 by Daedalus Enterprises, Inc.
