Although tracheal stenosis is a rare consequence, it possible in individuals undergoing extended intubation and tracheostomy. otorhinolaryngologists interventional pulmonologists are often responsible for treatment, since symptoms may not manifest weeks or months after extubation, primary care doctors frequently the first to meet this problem. Tracheal be mistaken asthma its clinical presentati...

PURPOSE Laryngo-tracheal stenosis remains a major complication after prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. Surgical resection with end-to-end anastomosis carries the best long term prognosis. For the anaesthetist, however, this procedure represents a most challenging situation. METHODS Since 1993, we have used high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) for tracheal resection. This paper describes ...

Objective: To analyze the outcomes of patients undergoing repair of congenital tracheal stenosis. Methods: This was a retrospective review of congenital tracheal stenosis patients treated between 2001 and 2007 at the University of São Paulo School of Medicine Hospital das Clínicas in São Paulo, Brazil. Results: Six boys and one girl (age at diagnosis ranging from 28 days to 3 years) were includ...

Tracheal stenosis or tracheal injury is a distressing condition. The silicone tracheal T-tube presents a substitute for stent of this complicated disease. We have come across a case of tracheal perforation in which tracheoplasty was planned. After traceoplasty silicone tracheal T-tube was placed as a stent. We were not able to connect silicone tracheal T-tube with Bain circuit with ET TUBE No. ...

Cicatricial tracheal stenoses are mainly related to iatrogenic injury as postintubation, posttracheotomy or postoperative. Advances in airway prosthetics have provided a variety of silicone stents and expandable metal stents as a therapeutic option for tracheal stenoses. Nowadays, dynamic tracheal stents are performed prevalently for the treatment of tracheal stenosis. Four major problems are c...
