Abstract

<p>Background. Tracheal rupture due to intubation is a rare complication. Both conservative and surgical therapies are appropriate for treating membranous tracheal ruptures. Case. During myocardial infarction treatment, a 77-year-old woman was placed on a ventilator and extubated. However, her heart failure worsened, and she was re-intubated. After intubation, hemoptysis was observed, and a bronchoscopic examination confirmed a laceration of the posterior membranous wall of the tracheal tree, spanning 3.5 cm. Since neither pneumomediastinum nor pneumothorax was present, a cuff was placed centrally above the laceration, and conservative treatment was performed. Granulation tissue grew, and the injury was cured in approximately two months. Conclusion. Extensive rupture of the tracheal membrane following endotracheal intubation can be cured.</p>
