uring the past three years, 12 patients have been treated at the University of California Medical Center, San Francisco, for D severe tracheal stenosis that followed prolonged mechanical ventilation. A retrospective analysis of the clinical material was made to determine the role of techniques, underlying disease, and coincident contributory factors in the production of this previously rare complication. The results of treatment were also evaluated.

In the event of a rapid and progressive course of the disease after extubation, surgical approaches such as primary resection and anastomosis or various methods of tracheoplasty should be selected. We report our experience with surgical management of moderate to severe postintubation tracheal st...

A canine model of tracheal stenosis induced by cuffed endotracheal intubation

Postintubation tracheal stenosis is a complication of endotracheal intubation. The pathological mechanism and risk factors for endotracheal intubation-induced tracheal stenosis remain not fully understood. We aimed to establish an animal model and to investigate risk factors for postintubation tracheal stenosis. Beagles were intubated with 4 sized tubes (internal diameter 6.5 to 8.0 mm) and cuf...

Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation in the combined management of postintubation stenosis of the trachea in adults.

Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) using angioplasty balloon catheters has been employed successfully in the treatment of tracheobronchial stenoses in children and has worked with variable success in adults with bronchial stenosis. In adults with tracheal stenosis, BBD only has been reported anecdotally. In this study, experience with BBD using a valvuloplasty balloon catheter in the combin...

mendations about external diameter.2 While internal diameter is important for the airway resistance, the magnitude of the external diameter may play a role in the development of postintubation airway edema, postintubation croup and subglottic stenosis in pediatric patients. Therefore, when choosing a certain size of tracheal tube in children, both internal and external diameters should be taken...

Case scenario: perioperative airway management of a patient with tracheal stenosis.

TRACHEAL stenosis is a rare but a life-threatening condition and is caused by congenital problems, postintubation injury, trauma, tracheal tumor, and compression of the trachea by tumor. Although accurate prevalence of this condition is unknown, an incidence of 4.9 cases per million per year is estimated for postintubation tracheal stenosis. A stenosis commonly occurs at the cuff of the tube (i...
