Fractured tracheostomy tubes are rare causes of tracheobronchial foreign bodies. Bronchoscopic removal of these rare foreign bodies, including metallic and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes, resulted in successful patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sciences
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Tracheobronchial foreign bodies are relatively common, but fractured tracheostomy tubes are an uncommon cause.
  • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing airway foreign bodies.

Observation:

  • This report details three rare cases of fractured tracheostomy tubes presenting as foreign bodies in the tracheobronchial tree.
  • The cases involved one metallic and two polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tracheostomy tubes.

Findings:

  • All three foreign bodies were successfully removed using bronchoscopy.
  • Patients experienced uneventful recovery following the bronchoscopic intervention.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering fractured tracheostomy components as a potential cause of airway foreign bodies.
