  • Title: Fracture at fenestration of synthetic tracheostomy tube resulting in a tracheobronchial airway foreign body.
    Author: Krempl GA, Otto RA.
    Journal: South Med J; 1999 May; 92(5):526-8. PubMed ID: 10342904.
    Abstract:
    Tracheostomy tube fracture resulting in airway obstruction is a relatively rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 48-year-old man whose tracheostomy tube fractured and became lodged in the right primary bronchus. Recommendations are made for tracheostomy care to help prevent similar complications in patients with an indwelling tracheostomy tube.
