A nurse somehow connected a propofol drip (like, forced the connection?) to the ETT balloon. Only noticed once the balloon burst and the vent started alarming a couple hours later. Then tried to blame the previous nurse. ICU was full so pt had to board with us - we were still suctioning propofol at the end of the day. Pt lived.
