Double respiratory sequelae of head injury: subglottic stenosis and bilateral pneumothoraces.
نویسنده
چکیده
An 18-yr-old man with insulin-dependent diabetes developed severe subglottic stenosis after a very brief period of intubation. Emergency tracheostomy was complicated by the development of bilateral pneumothoraces. This case highlights the importance of making an early diagnosis to minimize the risk of complications and examines postintubation subglottic stenosis in the context of poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

متن کاملSubglottic stenosis following repeated double-lumen tube intubation for whole-lung lavage in a teenager with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disorder with decreased clearance of surfactant from the pulmonary alveoli resulting in progressive respiratory distress. Whole-lung lavage remains an important procedure for symptomatic relief in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. If a double-lumen tube can be placed, lavage of one side of the lung is performed through one lumen while the pat...
