Video 1 The use of fibrin glue for the endoscopic management post-intubation tracheal lacerations: a case series

Emergency airway management is associated with a high complication rate. Evaluating the patient prior to airway management is important to identify patients with increased risk of failed airways. Pre-oxygenation of critically ill patients is less effective in comparison to less sick patients. Induction agents are often required, but most induction agents are associated with hypotension during e...

The authors observed 42 patients with post-intubation tracheal stenosis who had been treated surgically. The report presents late morphological lesions within the trachea that constituted the causes of such stenosis.

INTRODUCTION The use of the laryngeal mask airway in elective adenotonsillectomy has been well described. However, there is no literature to support its use in post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage. CLINICAL PICTURE We report a case of a patient who presented with primary post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage, which required general anaesthesia for haemostasis after undergoing bilateral functional endoscop...

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...

BACKGROUND This was an evaluation of intra-individual variation of the cuff-leak test (ΔCLT) immediately post-intubation and pre-extubation, as a predictor of post-extubation stridor. METHODS Prospective, clinical investigation in the ICU of a non-university hospital. CLTs were performed immediately after intubation (T0) and before extubation (T1) to evaluate the differences in cuff leak (ΔCL...
