  • Title: Tracheal Rupture: A Rare Complication of Endotracheal Intubation.
    Author: Reichman EF, Lanan BJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2015 Nov; 31(11):774-8. PubMed ID: 26535500.
    Abstract:
    There are numerous immediate and delayed complications associated with endotracheal intubation. Tracheal rupture is a rare complication whose diagnosis is often delayed. This can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of therapeutic misadventure resulting in a significant tracheal rupture in a child intubated by helicopter emergency medical services after a near-drowning. This is followed by a review of endotracheal intubation related tracheal rupture.
