{Abstract}: Head and neck trauma can result in difficult airway management. A 25-year-old male required emergency tracheal intubation on arrival to the emergency department following a motorbike accident. Despite the presence of a normal capnography a computed tomography scan demonstrated a tracheal opening, an extra-tracheal position of the distal end of the tracheal tube, and extensive subcutaneous emphysema. The tube was re-directed into the trachea and the tracheal injury was surgically repaired. This case highlights that the presence of a normal capnograph does not necessarily mean that the distal end of the tracheal tube resides within the airway.
