Severe tracheal stenosis due to prolonged tracheostomy tube placement: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheal stenosis is the most common late airway complication of tracheostomy. Severe tracheal stenosis resulted in hemodynamic deterioration and impairment of respiratory system mechanics. We cared for an 86-year-old man with severe tracheal stenosis due to prolonged placement of a tracheostomy tube for 42-months. At the distal tip of the tracheostomy tube, bronchoscopy revealed severe tracheal luminal obstructions by granulation tissue. During pressure-controlled ventilation, the peak airway pressure was much higher than the inspiratory pressure. For patients with clinical signs of tracheal stenosis after tracheotomy, bronchoscopy should be done as early as possible.

The most common cause of airway stenosis is prolonged intubation. Postintubation stenosis may be a delayed onset and may progress gradually. Endoscopic assessment and deciding to do a tracheostomy after 7 days is advised in adults. Segmented resection and primary anastomosis is the most effective modality of treatment for complete or near-complete tracheal stenosis. Surgeon’s ability for re...

We report a rare case of acquired membranous tracheal stenosis in a patient with anorexia nervosa and a history of self-induced vomiting, but without a history of tracheal intubation or tracheostomy. A 50-year-old woman presented with difficulty in breathing and swallowing, self-expectoration, and impaired consciousness due to acute benzodiazepine intoxication. Bronchoscopic examination was per...

We report a difficult case of tracheostomy in a 34-year-old obese woman with a short neck. The tracheostomy tube placement repeatedly failed because of anatomical changes due to obesity and a short neck, tracheal mucosal swelling due to prolonged intubation, and unexpected false passage; however, it was successfully performed using an endotracheal tube exchanger as a guidewire.

Aim and Background: Percutaneous tracheostomy, a common surgical procedure in the field of otolaryngology, is associated with complications, such as bleeding, infection, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and tracheal ring fracture. However, the incidence of pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum in a single individual is rare. Case report: A 70-year-old woman wa...
