Obstructive Fibrinous Tracheal Pseudomembrane After Tracheal Intubation: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane is a rare, but potentially fatal complication associated with endotracheal intubation. It has been known that the formation of tracheal pseudomembrane is related with intracuff pressure during endotracheal intubation or infectious cause. But in the patient described in this case, pseudomembrane formation in the trachea was associated with subglottic epithelial trauma or caustic injuries to the trachea caused by aspirated gastric contents during intubation rather than tracheal ischemia due to high cuff pressure. We report a patient with obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane after endotracheal intubation who presented with dyspnea and stridor and was treated successfully with mechanical removal using rigid bronchoscopy.

Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane: a rare condition in postextubation stridor.
Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane (OFTP) is an airway complication that occurs after endotracheal intubation. It originates from superficial mucosal abrasion and desquamation of necrotic tracheal epithelium at the site of cuff pressure. This condition is a rare cause of postextubation stridor. We present a case of postextubation stridor secondary to OFTP, resulting in clinical featu...

Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure, rarely associated with life-threatening complications (e.g., tracheal rupture, necrosis, foreign body). A 1.5-year-old English Bulldog was presented for respiratory distress, with increased respiratory efforts and stridor, 2 days after endotracheal intubation. Cervical and thoracic radiographs disclosed a severe narrowing of the tracheal lumen asso...

To the Editor: Various complications from percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) have been reported in the literature. Tracheal ring fracture can take place while either using single or sequential dilators during the procedure.1 Fibrinous tracheal pseudomembranes can also appear in previously intubated patient.2 Recently, we encountered a case in which both tracheal ring fracture and pseu...
