摘要:
Abstract:Tracheal stenosis (TS), tracheomalacia, and tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) are life-threatening complications, most often caused by long-term mechanical ventilation. We describe a 45-year-old man with combined thoracoabdominal trauma who developed symptoms of TEF and TS after a 20-day period of mechanical ventilation. The diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used are discussed. Periodic endoscopic inspection of the airways of all long-term ventilatior patients who have tracheostomies may help to prevent and/or to detect these complications.
