Present-generation 3-dimensional ICE probes can be used for volumetric imaging; however, in the present configuration, cross-sectional measurement of annular size is difficult due to the limited field of view of 22°. [imaging.onlinejacc.org]

Abstract The passage of a tube into the trachea, whether through the nose or the mouth, is known as intubation, and probably presents more hazards than any other single anaesthetic procedure. [link.springer.com]

With only a few additional embellishments, the following table of complications and their solutions is presented here copied and pasted straight from Question 23. [derangedphysiology.com]

These five cases are presented below. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

• Hoarseness

  Previous research by Jones et al. found that 54 of 167 studied patients had hoarseness following short-term intubation. 7 In five of these patients, hoarseness lasted for periods ranging between 9 and 99 days. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

  Cases of postoperative hoarseness, vomiting, dysphoria, bucking, and other complications were determined in the two groups. [alliedacademies.org]

  Aspirating (inhaling) vomit, saliva or other fluids while intubated Pneumonia, if aspiration occurs Sore throat Hoarseness Erosion of soft tissue (with prolonged intubation) The medical team will assess and be aware of these potential risks, and do what [verywell.com]

  On the other hand, a review study in 2010 showed a very low incidence of airway complications such as postoperative hoarseness and cough in the LMA group. [9] In our study, there was no significant difference in vital signs including HR, SO 2 and mean [medgasres.com]

• Dysphagia

  Dysphagia followed by tachycardia, tachypnoea and mild temperature are almost always present. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

Nevertheless, successful conservative treatment in a large tracheal tear has been reported. 11, 12 Mullan et al have suggested that the length of intact trachea > 3 cm above the carina is the important predictor of successful conservative treatment. 12 [rc.rcjournal.com]

This is a surgical emergency and prompt recognition and initiation of treatment is essential to a favorable outcome. There are very few case reports of medical treatment [4]. Medical treatment has been applied only after early diagnosis. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

In addition, urolithiasis was also associated with a high risk of intensive care unit treatment, shock, and arrhythmias after AMI. Medical treatments for urolithiasis may decrease the risk of MI, except the use of NSAIDs. [dovepress.com]

Knowledge of associated clinical variables may improve the estimation of early prognosis and guide management in these patients. [neurology.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outlook will depend on the reason the procedure needed to be done. References Driver BE, Reardon RF. Tracheal intubation. In: Roberts JR, Custalow CB, Thomsen TW, eds. [mountsinai.org]

After discussion with the patient's relatives about the risk of surgical repair and the prognosis of neurological condition, conservative treatment was considered. [rc.rcjournal.com]

However misreading of this complication sometimes leads to delaying the diagnosis, then to worsening the prognosis. Subsequent infection spreads into the mediastinum and responsibility of the physician is engaged. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

This result shows why it is vital to analyze data by the intention-to-treat principle; in this case, an erroneous conclusion could be reached if the data were analyzed by treatment received, because the success of intubation is not independent of prognosis [jamanetwork.com]
