Tracheal granuloma 7 years after extubation
Tracheal granuloma can cause severe stenosis long after extubation. When a patient with a history of endobronchial intubation has an intratracheal tumour, we should consider the possibility of this condition.
متن کاملCase Report on Table Extubation of a Patient with Tracheomalacia after Thyroidectomy for large Retrosternal Goiter
Anesthetic management of patients with retrosternal goiter remains challenging as acute airway compromise may occur both during induction and recovery of anesthesia. We report the case of a 51 year old lady with retrosternal goiter and tracheal deviation who underwent total thyroidectomy. Comprehensive contingency plans were an essential prerequisite for successful management of difficult airwa...
متن کاملSuccessful anesthetic management of a patient with thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea with tracheal obstruction, scheduled for total thyroidectomy.
We report a case of large thyroid carcinoma with tracheal and esophageal invasion who presented with preoperative stridor scheduled for total thyroidectomy and segmental tracheal resection. Careful and comprehensive preoperative anesthetic planning was done. Extracorporeal circulation membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was set up and running prior to induction under local anesthesia, due to an increas...
متن کاملLarge goitre causing difficult intubation and failure to intubate using the intubating laryngeal mask airway: lessons for next time.
A 63-yr-old woman was anaesthetized for sub-total thyroidectomy. The thyroid gland was large, deviating the trachea to the right and causing 30% tracheal narrowing at the level of the suprasternal notch. Mask ventilation was easy but laryngoscopy was Cormack and Lehane grade 3. Despite being able to see the tip of the epiglottis, tracheal intubation was impossible. An intubating laryngeal mask ...
متن کاملIntraoperatively Diagnosed Tracheal Tear after Using an NIM EMG ETT with Previously Undiagnosed Tracheomalacia
Tracheal rupture is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation. We present a case of tracheal rupture that was diagnosed intraoperatively after the use of an NIM EMG endotracheal tube. A 66-year-old female with a recurrent multinodular goiter was scheduled for total thyroidectomy. Induction of anesthesia was uncomplicated. Intubation was atraumatic using a 6 mm NIM EMG endotracheal tube (ET...
