Abstract
|
|
|
|
A tracheal laceration is one of the known complications of endotracheal intubation. It is a rare but critical complication of endotracheal intubation, which is challenging to recognize. Tracheal laceration can cause serious problems for the patient, and urgent treatment and surgical procedures may be required. Management of tracheal lacerations presents difficult challenges to the anesthesiologist. We want to report on tracheal laceration in a 72-year-old female patient who underwent general anesthesia. This case report announces an iatrogenic post-intubation tracheal laceration without a special event in a patient undergoing elective surgery. We would like to share the diagnosis process and treatment of post-intubation tracheal laceration. In addition, we would like to review known risk factors of tracheal laceration and anesthetic management through a literature review.
