Tracheal tube obstruction in a case of concealed tracheomalacia--a case report
1Nottingham City Hospital, UK. labrosath@hotmail.com
Abstract:
We report on the successful mangement of airway obstruction, immediately after tracheal intubation for elective operation, in a patient with concealed tracheomalacia. We discuss the issues posed in patients with mild or undiagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that are relevant to tracheomalacia. We underline the link between tracheomalacia and COPD and emphasize the high level of awareness needed, in order to avoid or manage promptly adverse events during airway management for anesthesia in these patients.

Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
