  • Title: Extended membranous tracheobronchial rupture after tracheal intubation.
    Author: Santambrogio L, Nosotti M, Cioffi U, De Simone M, Pavoni G, Testori A.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1998; 83(2):106-7. PubMed ID: 9851323.
    Abstract:
    Membranous tracheo-bronchial rupture due to tracheal intubation has been infrequently reported. We present a previous unreported case of an extended membranous tracheo-bronchial laceration successfully repaired, on an emergency basis, through a right thoracotomy and cervicotomy with primary multiple interrupted sutures without the use of a free patch. We believe that in this complication the prognosis is generally good and much more linked to the underlying disease than to tracheal rupture.
