Computed tomography for diagnosis of tracheoesophageal fistula
Critical Care Medicine
|June 1, 1986
Abstract:
Two patients developed tracheoesophageal fistula after prolonged nasotracheal intubation and tracheostomy. The use of computed tomography, a noninvasive technique, to document the size and location of tracheoesophageal fistula may be preferable to endoscopic examination in critically ill, ventilator-dependent patients.
