Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Tracheal tears are rare but life-threatening injuries requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment.
  • Traumatic neck injuries can compromise the airway, necessitating immediate medical attention.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old male sustained a neck injury from a fall, presenting with cervical bruising, neck emphysema, and progressive dyspnea.
  • Initial intubation attempts were unsuccessful, prompting an emergency necklace incision and direct tracheal intubation at the scene.

Findings:

  • Surgical repair involved end-to-end tracheal anastomosis and tracheotomy.
  • A laryngeal fracture was managed with an endolaryngeal stent.
  • Long-term sequelae included dysphagia and dyspnea due to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, addressed by vocal cord lateralization.

Implications:

  • Pre-hospital emergency management of tracheal tears can significantly improve patient survival.
  • Timely surgical intervention and airway stabilization are critical for managing complex tracheal and laryngeal trauma.
  • Understanding long-term complications of laryngeal nerve injury is essential for comprehensive patient care.
