  • Title: [Successful surgical treatment of tracheal rupture caused by endotracheal intubation].
    Author: Baranyai Z, Kocsis A, Jósa V.
    Journal: Orv Hetil; 2010 Jun 06; 151(23):946-9. PubMed ID: 20494890.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the trachea is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation. The most common cause of the injury is the overinflation of the cuff. The authors present the case of a 45-year-old male in whom a 6 cm long trachea lesion was perceived during the operation due to a meso-hypopharyngeal tumor. Primary intervention resulted in successful reconstruction and full recovery. The case demonstrates the importance of prompt diagnosis and adequate therapy that helped in preventing an assumingly life-long complication or even death.
