Trachea Injury

We present a case of neonatal tracheal injury following delivery at term that presented with subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum before any attempt at intubation. The clinical course, treatment, and outcome are described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Soft Tissue Swelling

    Soft tissue swelling with crepitus was felt in the left supraclavicular area indicative of subcutaneous emphysema. Initial oxygen saturation was 87% on room air that improved to 100% within a few minutes. [nature.com]

  • Cough

    We guessed that the over-inflation of the cuff made the tracheal wall weak, and sudden movement of the tube during the vigorous coughing caused the tracheal injury. [anesthpain.com]

    Other possible symptoms include pain and coughing up blood. Treatment will consist of surgical repair of the trachea. After surgery, you may require a breathing tube while the trachea heals to ensure swelling does not constrict the airway. [pagelaw.com]

    Antitussive medication should be administered to avoid severe cough that would induce a rise in airway pressure. [sjtrem.biomedcentral.com]

  • Stridor

    Mild inspiratory stridor had been noted at home when she cried, and she had a slight hoarse cry. No baseline stridor was noted during the office examination. [nature.com]

    In mild croup, your child may have stridor only when crying or coughing. [aboutkidshealth.ca]

  • Contusion

    Bronchoscopy revealed deformation of the cartilage crescent in the cervical trachea (suggestive of cartilage contusion) and a longitudinal tear in the membranous region. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical Testing and Workup A diagnosis of subglottic stenosis may be suspected based on the results of pulmonary function tests. [rarediseases.org]

In patients with tracheal injuries, conservative treatment is an alternative approach when surgical treatment is difficult. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis and Long-Term Outlook Mortality from associated injuries in a penetrating injury to the neck can be as high as 50%; this is due to the close proximity of major blood vessels to the trachea. [pagelaw.com]

While mortality decreased from 36% before 1950 to 9% in 2001, prognosis greatly depends on early detection, the presence of concomitant injuries, and the cause of the injury.[8][3] Blunt tracheal injuries were associated with a better prognosis than [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiologies of non-penetrating tracheobronchial injuries include blunt cervical trauma, endotracheal intubation, and other iatrogenic causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiologic agents in tinea cruris produce keratinases, which allow invasion of the cornified cell layer of the epidermis. The host immune response may prevent deeper invasion. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Classification From etiology the tracheobronchial injury can be classified as traumatic and iatrogenic sources, in which the traumatic etiology includes crush injury, firearm injury and sharp instrument injury, which can be combined with the injury of [jtd.amegroups.com]
