Abstract
|
|
|
|
Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane (OFTP) is a rare condition usually associated with endotracheal intubation. Airwayobstruction caused by OFTP may occur after endotracheal tube extubation and can lead to severe respiratory distress. It is a rare but potentiallyfatal complication. In this report, we present a case of OFTP presented with atelectasis that caused dyspnea after extubation andwas successfully treated by mechanical removal using a rigid bronchoscope.
