We describe an extremely rare case of tracheal stenosis caused by unnoticed microscopic fiber-like foreign bodies. A 66-year-old woman complained of dyspnea with inspiratory stridor. Magnifying electroendoscopy and computed tomography revealed stenosis involving the entire circumference of the tracheal lumen. Tracheotomy and biopsy were performed. Histologically, the lesion showed chronic infla...

background: hemodynamic instability is common during tracheal intubation. the primary purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of different doses of remifentanil added to propofol on the hemodynamic profiles during tracheal intubation. methods: ninety patients, 40 to 70 years old, undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into...

Tracheal stenosis is the most common late airway complication of post intubation/trachestomy resulted in hemodynamic deterioration and impairment of respiratory system mechanics. Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is well known complication of introduction of spinal/epidural needle in subarachanoid space. In this article, we present a very rare case report of a patient 18 year old male, diagno...

We are grateful for the help of West Yorkshire metropolitan ambulance service and the many health service staff who participate in extended training. Outcome of resuscitation from bradyrhythmic or asvstolic prehospital cardiac arrest. Factors influencing survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The effects of bystander cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on survival of out-of-hospital cardiac ...

Iatrogenic tracheal rupture is a rare but recognized complication after endotracheal intubation. Although rare, it carries high morbidity and mortality. Seemingly uneventful intubations can result in injury to the trachea requiring prompt diagnosis management. Here, we report patient of post intubation who was successfully treated by conservative Bangladesh Crit Care J September 2022; 10(2): 16...

INTRODUCTION Post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) continues to be challenging in terms of diagnosis, management and prevention. Recurrence is common because of excessive granulation tissue formation and an insidious process of scar contracture. Topical application of mitomycin-C (MMC) as an adjuvant treatment for endoscopic management of stenosis has shown good results. The authors aimed to...

Acquired subglottic stenosis is a compication or neonatal endotracheal intubation. Although it is rare, it contributes significantly to the morbidity and physical well being of post extubated neonates. A 20-day old neonate, ventilated for meconium aspiration syndrome and persistent fetal circulation, presented with marked stridor and respiratory embarrassment. A stenosed subglottic area was fou...
