90% leak!

Dr Roos is looking after me while Dr Egner is away today...he turned the ventilator down to 29bpm...the ventilator is beeping like crazy today...mommy and daddy noticed that the ventilator displayed a very high leak percentage which was mostly above 90% and that the ET tube seemed to have come out of my nose by 1cm...they were assured by the nurse on duty that everything was fine...the ventilator repeated displayed "mv low", "apnoea" and "tube obstructed" messages...later mommy and daddy heard me make a sound - something that shouldn't happen while ventilated.  Mommy quickly called Gervais (who was not the nurse looking after me today but he was nearest at the time) he quickly noticed that the tube had come out and re-secured it...
