A patient experienced severe bleeding after minitracheotomy due to a subglottic granuloma. Surgical intervention was necessary to control the hemorrhage, highlighting a rare complication of airway management.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Prolonged tracheal intubation is a common procedure in critical care.
  • Subglottic granulomas can develop as a complication of tracheal intubation.
  • Minitracheotomy is a minimally invasive airway access technique.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old patient presented with immediate, profuse hemorrhage post-minitracheotomy insertion.
  • The patient sustained a blood loss of 1.1 liters.
  • The bleeding necessitated surgical control.

Findings:

  • The hemorrhage was caused by an incised subglottic granuloma.
  • The granuloma had formed secondary to prolonged tracheal intubation.
  • The granuloma was inadvertently incised during the minitracheotomy procedure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare but serious complication of minitracheotomy.
  • Awareness of pre-existing subglottic lesions is crucial before airway procedures.
  • Prompt surgical management is essential for controlling such hemorrhages.
