Abstract:
Twenty patients with acute trauma to the trachea and oesophagus were managed in the last 6 years with a new technique. There were 2 female and 18 male patients with an average age of 26 years. The approach is direct, easy and reproducible. The approach is direct, easy and reproducible. The oesophageal rents are approached through the anterior and posterior tracheal lacerations without tracheal mobilisation. Muscle interposition was electively not used and cervical wounds not drained. Wound dehiscence was not experienced.

Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of the...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
