Pretracheal Abscess Following Two Weeks of Endotracheal Intubation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pretracheal abscess due to endotracheal intubation has not been reported in literature. We present a case of a female patient who was admitted with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. Patient was initially managed with noninvasive ventilation but eventually was intubated after sustaining a cardiac arrest. She could not be extubated because of poor weaning parameters, so a tracheostomy was planned. During surgery, a pretracheal abscess was found with destruction of the second, third, and fourth tracheal rings and intact posterior tracheal wall. The possible risk factors, mechanism of injury, and preventive strategy of tracheal complication of intubation are discussed.

Unusual case of endotracheal tube obstruction by caseous necrotic material Sir, Tuberculosis is a social disease with medical implications. In spinal tuberculosis, surgery is performed for either deformities and neurologic deficits and/or drainage of cold abscess. Endotracheal intubation is the cornerstone in the anesthesia practice; however, the tube itself may become a source of airway obstru...
