Postintubation Tracheal Ruptures - A case report -
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheobronchial ruptures (TBR) rarely complicate surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Seemingly uneventful intubations can result in injury to the trachea, which often manifests as hemoptysis and subcutaneous emphysema. We present 2 patients with postintubation TBR who were treated surgically and discuss considerations in the management of this potentially lethal injury.

Tracheal stenosis is an uncommon but serious complication of prolonged intubation and tracheostomy patients.
