Glottic and subglottic stenosis from endotracheal intubation
The Laryngoscope
|March 1, 1977
Summary
Prolonged endotracheal intubation can cause airway stenosis. Early and repeated endoscopic management is effective for laryngeal stenosis, particularly glottic posterior commissure scarring.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pulmonology
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Prolonged endotracheal intubation is increasingly associated with airway complications.
- Airway stenosis, including laryngeal (glottic and subglottic) and tracheal stenosis, is a significant concern.
- Distinguishing between laryngeal and tracheal stenosis is crucial for effective management.
