The risks of tracheal intubation

H Reinhold, T Deloof, A Jortay

    Acta Anaesthesiologica Belgica
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Post-intubation complications, including pharyngeal and laryngeal injuries, can arise from mechanical or chemical factors related to intubation tubes. Alternative ventilation methods like mask anesthesia may be safer when intubation isn't strictly necessary.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure for airway management and mechanical ventilation.
    • Potential complications associated with intubation can affect the pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

    Observation:

    • A variety of lesions, ranging from minor injuries to severe conditions like stenosis and fistula, have been documented post-intubation.
    • Etiologic factors include chemical irritants from tube materials/sterilization and mechanical pressure on adjacent tissues.
    • Post-intubation sore throat appears unrelated to laryngoscopy trauma.

    Findings:

    • Mechanical and chemical properties of intubation devices are primary causes of post-intubation complications.
    • Airway obstruction can occur due to tube compression or accidental blockage.
    • Laryngeal and tracheal stenosis, vocal cord paralysis, and tongue paralysis are significant potential sequelae.

    Implications:

    • Careful selection of intubation materials and techniques can mitigate risks.
    • Considering alternative airway management, such as mask anesthesia, is crucial when intubation is not essential.
    • Awareness of these complications is vital for preventing and managing adverse events in intubated patients.
