Misdirected Minitracheostomy Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a patient who after an uneventful coronary artery bypass graft surgery and left ventricular aneurysmorrhaphy developed intracerebral hemorrhage and subsequently required minitracheostomy. Chest X-ray showed misdirected minitracheostomy tube facing upward toward the laryngeal opening which was repositioned using bronchoscope.

Obstructive subglottic granuloma after removal of a minitracheostomy tube.
We report herein a patient with subglottic granuloma after removal of a minitracheostomy tube (Minitrach II, SIMS Portex Inc., Hythe, Kent, UK). The patient underwent pulmonary resection for lung cancer followed by insertion of the minitracheostomy tube for prevention of sputum retention. The tube was removed 4 days after insertion. Twelve weeks later, the patient developed severe dyspnea and s...

Dr. Vianello and colleagues understand very well that it is usually because of an inability to cough out airway secretions during chest colds, rather than because of chronic hypoventi¬ lation, that patients with neuromuscular disease develop acute respiratory failure (ARF). They deserve commendation for directing their attention to these patients' primary impedi¬ ment to extended survival. They...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of a prophylactic minitracheostomy (PMT) in patients undergoing an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer and to clarify the indications for a PMT. METHODS Ninety-four patients who underwent right transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between January 2009 and December 2013 were studied. Short surgical outcomes were re...
متن کاملFrequent misdirected courtship in a natural community of colorful Habronattus jumping spiders
Male courtship display is common in many animals; in some cases, males engage in courtship indiscriminately, spending significant time and energy courting heterospecifics with whom they have no chance of mating or producing viable offspring. Due to high costs and few if any benefits, we might expect mechanisms to evolve to reduce such misdirected courtship (or 'reproductive interference'). In H...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling directs cardiomyocyte movement toward the midline during heart tube assembly
Communication between neighboring tissues plays a central role in guiding organ morphogenesis. During heart tube assembly, interactions with the adjacent endoderm control the medial movement of cardiomyocytes, a process referred to as cardiac fusion. However, the molecular underpinnings of this endodermal-myocardial relationship remain unclear. Here, we show an essential role for platelet-deriv...
