Abstract:
The number of endotracheal intubations increased in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic with an associated rise in laryngotracheal injury. Our patient had a complete laryngeal occlusion just proximal to the first tracheal ring. The Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd-YAG) laser is often used to resolve sub-laryngeal occlusions, and without access to the Nd-YAG laser, we had to find an alternative solution. Few centers have the access to an Nd-YAG laser, the optimal choice for sub-laryngeal occlusion and our novel approach allowed us to reestablish tracheal continuity and the patient's ability to speak.
