Patient on full dose lovenox.  Proceeded with emergency seldinger 18f chest tube placement.  Patient then began bleeding from her airway and I converted to traditional surgical chest tube placement.  CXR obtained and thoracostomy tube in good position on the right with inflated lung.  Infiltrate worse.    Airway bleeding subsided but then patient was peak pressuring on the ventilator and not receiving tidal volumes.  Blood pressure dropping.  Suspected airway obstruction.  Using the disposable bronchoscope I discovered quite a bit of blood clot in the distal endotracheal tube stranding and connected to large clot burden in the right main stem.  I was unable to remove clot.     Changed to BMV and blood pressure improved.  Had to add levophed.  Endoscopy team called and they have just arrived to bedside.      Discussed case with daughter.  All the patient's issues stem from cancer.  She would not want chest compressions on her mother.  DNR ordered.    FINAL DIAGNOSES 1.
