Certain medical procedures can also injure the airways; these include tracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, and tracheotomy. [4] The back of the trachea may be damaged during tracheotomy. [18] TBI resulting from tracheal intubation (insertion of a tube into the trachea) is rare, and the mechanism by which it occurs is unclear. [19]
Airway management can be classified into closed or open techniques depending on the system of ventilation used. Tracheal intubation is a typical example of a closed technique as ventilation occurs using a closed circuit. Several open techniques exist, such as spontaneous ventilation, apnoeic ventilation or jet ventilation.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a type of lung infection that occurs in people who are on mechanical ventilation breathing machines in hospitals. As such, VAP typically affects critically ill persons that are in an intensive care unit (ICU) and have been on a mechanical ventilator for at least 48 hours.
Intubation (sometimes entubation) is a medical procedure involving the insertion of a tube into the body. Patients are generally anesthetized beforehand. Examples include tracheal intubation , and the balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken–Blakemore tube (a tube into the gastrointestinal tract ).
Epiglottitis may require urgent tracheal intubation to protect the airway. [1] Tracheal intubation can be difficult due to distorted anatomy and profuse secretions. Spontaneous respiration is ideally maintained until tracheal intubation is successful. [10] A surgical airway opening (cricothyrotomy) may be required if intubation is not possible ...
Intubation granuloma is a benign growth of granulation tissue in the larynx or trachea, which arises from tissue trauma due to endotracheal intubation. [1] This medical condition is described as a common late complication of tracheal intubation, specifically caused by irritation to the mucosal tissue of the airway during insertion or removal of the patient's intubation tube.
If the foreign body cannot be visualized, intubation, tracheotomy, or needle cricothyrotomy can be done to restore an airway for patients who have become unresponsive due to airway compromise. [ 21 ] If non-invasive measures do not dislodge the foreign body, and the patient can maintain adequate ventilation, rigid bronchoscopy under general ...
[2] [6] In cases where endotracheal intubation is difficult or cannot be done, creation of a surgical airway may be necessary in order provide positive-pressure ventilation. [1] If the cause of the obstruction is simply biting of the endotracheal tube, treatment can simply be administration of low dose succinylcholine in order prevent ...
