Severe blunt tracheobronchial injuries require precise diagnosis and surgical planning. A percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) facilitated successful one-stage repair in complex cases, including complete tracheal transection.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Trauma surgery
  • Cardiopulmonary support

Background:

  • Blunt tracheobronchial injuries are uncommon but potentially fatal.
  • Effective management necessitates accurate preoperative diagnosis and tailored surgical strategies for one-stage repair.
  • Restoring tracheobronchial continuity is critical for patient survival.

Observation:

  • The study involved three patients with severe tracheal injuries: two with complete tracheal transection in the neck and one with mediastinal transection.
  • An additional patient presented with a 15 cm tear in the posterior membranous trachea.
  • Conventional bronchoscopic methods for distal airway intubation proved challenging in these complex cases.

Findings:

  • A percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) was successfully employed in managing these severe blunt tracheobronchial injuries.

  • PCPS provided crucial hemodynamic and respiratory support, enabling complex surgical repair.
  • Good surgical outcomes were achieved using this innovative approach.

    • Implications:

    • Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) offers a viable solution for complex blunt tracheobronchial injuries where standard intubation fails.
    • This approach may improve surgical outcomes and reduce mortality in patients with life-threatening airway trauma.
    • Further research into PCPS application for airway trauma is warranted to establish its full potential.
