Respiratory failure and cor pulmonale associated with tracheal mucoid accumulation from a SCOOP transtracheal oxygen catheter.

چکیده
Transtracheal oxygen (TTO) delivery for patients with chronic hypoxemia has been used increasingly since its introduction in 1982. Most complications have been relatively minor and usually occur in conjunction with catheter placement. This report describes two patients with long-term catheter use who developed increasing respiratory failure and cor pulmonale, at least in part, due to a large tracheal mucus plug.

Tracheal perforation. A complication associated with transtracheal oxygen therapy.
A 73-year-old woman with a transtracheal oxygen catheter in place developed sudden onset of respiratory distress and subcutaneous emphysema. Bronchoscopy revealed the presence of three posterior tracheal wall perforations and a blind pouch arising from one of the perforations. Subsequent bronchoscopies revealed complete healing of the perforations. We believe that these perforations occurred du...
متن کاملA nearly fatal tracheal obstruction resulting from a transtracheal oxygen catheter.
In a patient with a transtracheal oxygen catheter (ITO2C), a nearly fatal complication occurred due to the formation of a mucous plug on the tip, which almost totally obstructed the tracheal lumen. To our knowledge, this complication has not been reported before with the use of this type of transtracheal oxygen catheter.

Respiratory failure may be defined as the inability to maintain normal oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions in the arterial blood under normal atmospheric conditions. This condition will lead to serious functional disturbances of the cardiovascular system if hypoxia and hypercapnoea become severe. In addition, parenchymatous disease of the lungs, disorders affecting the mechanics of the thoracic ...
متن کاملTranstracheal high frequency jet ventilation for endoscopic airway surgery: a multicentre study.
Serious complications during high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) are rare and have been documented in animals and in case reports or short series of patients with a difficult airway. We report complications of transtracheal HFFJV in a prospective multicentre study of 643 patients having laryngoscopy or laryngeal laser surgery. A transtracheal catheter could not be inserted in two patients (0....
متن کاملLong-term oxygen therapy--state of the art.
Long-term oxygen therapy prolongs life in adults with chronic hypoxia caused by chronic bronchitis and emphysema who have cor pulmonale, pulmonary hypertension, and secondary polycythemia ('blue bloaters'). Good results require oxygen therapy for more than 15 hours and preferably 20-24 hours per day. The oxygen concentrator, delivering 1 to 3 l/min of oxygen by nasal prongs, is probably the mos...
