    Iatrogenic tracheal rupture during intubation is a rare but fatal complication. Prompt diagnosis with fibrotracheoscopy and appropriate management, including surgical repair when necessary, can prevent fatalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Surgery
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Iatrogenic tracheal damage, including rupture, is a rare but severe complication during intubation and mechanical ventilation.
    • Risk factors include emergency situations, time constraints, hypoxia, double-lumen tube use, rigid stylets, and difficult intubations due to patient anatomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnosis and management of iatrogenic tracheal rupture.
    • To identify indications for surgical intervention in cases of tracheal rupture.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 33 patients with iatrogenic tracheal damage.
    • Diagnostic use of fibrotracheoscopy, which can also serve as a therapeutic measure.
    • Analysis of surgical indications based on clinical presentation and injury severity.

    Main Results:

    • Fibrotracheoscopy is the primary diagnostic tool and can be therapeutic.
    • Only 6 out of 33 patients required surgical repair.
    • Surgical intervention is reserved for specific complications like uncontrolled hemorrhage, extensive rupture, or associated injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • Timely and accurate management of iatrogenic tracheal rupture is crucial for patient survival.
    • Non-surgical management is often effective, but surgical repair is indicated in severe, complex cases.
