CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old woman entered the Emergency Department with severe dyspnea, tachypnea, and stridor and a pulse oximetry reading of 60 %. An attempt at ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the diagnosis, pathology, and management of glottic, subglottic, and tracheal injuries secondary to endotracheal intubation in neonates.

Such injuries are multifactorial, w...

OBJECTIVE To illustrate a case of an iatrogenic mucosal tear in the trachea which caused a one-way valve effect, obstructing the airway and manifesting as post-extubation stridor. CASE REPORT We report a case of iatrogenic tracheal mucosal tear secondary to violent movement during intubation. The patient presented with post-extubation stridor that worsened over three days. Initial evidence su...
