Cervical tracheal resection without intubation

Tracheal intubation without neuromuscular blocking agents

Thoracoscopic tracheal reconstruction without surgical field intubation

A cross-filed endotracheal intubation is usually applied to maintain single lung ventilation during both open and thoracoscopic tracheal resection and reconstruction. Herein, we report a case of thoracoscopic tracheal resection and reconstruction with interrupted ventilation via transoral endotracheal intubation in a patient with thoracic tracheal adenocarcinoma. Tracheal anastomosis was accomp...

Tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis for post-intubation cervical tracheal stenosis: study of 14 cases.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of acquired laryngeal stenosis is increasing. This retrospective study aimed to assess the long term results of circumferential resection with end-to-end tracheal anastomosis for isolated post-intubation stenosis of the cervical trachea, and to review the relevant literature. METHODS Twelve male and two female patients (aged 16-30 years, mean age 24 yea...

Tracheal rupture after tracheal intubation.

We report a case of tracheal rupture in an 84-yr-old patient after tracheal intubation. The aetiology and treatment are discussed and the recent literature is reviewed.

Tracheal intubation.

OBJECTIVE To review current concepts related to the procedure of tracheal intubation in children. SOURCES Relevant articles published from 1968 to 2006 were selected from the MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO databases, using the keywords intubation, tracheal intubation, child, rapid sequence intubation and pediatric airway. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS Airway management in children is related to their...
