Abstract:
Oro-tracheal intubation to prevent the development of subcutaneous emphysema after blunt trauma by a traffic accident resulted in progressively worsening dyspnea because of complete transection of the trachea. Emergent tracheal reconstruction was required for life-saving. In order to secure a safe and effective airway in such a patient, we should diagnose accurately and select the methods of securing the airway earlier in the post-traumatic period.
