Anaesthetic management of tracheal tear

Year 2012, Volume: 34 Issue: 2, 242 - 246, 20.02.2012

Abstract

Abstract

Tracheal tear is an uncommon but a serious injury that may be lethal because of the difficulties of accurate anatomical diagnosis and perioperative airway management. A high degree of suspicion is essential to identify these cases and early intervention is associated with better outcome. The anaesthesiologist managing such a case should be aware of the difficulties during securing the airway and during repair of trachea. Proper planning and keeping back up plans ready helps in successful management of these patients. The anaesthetic management needs to be modified during repair of the trachea by using total intravenous anaesthesia and insertion of an endotracheal tube in the trachea distal to the tear.

Keywords: Tracheal tear, anaesthetic management, airway

 

Özet

Trakeal yırtık nadir ancak doğru anatomik tanımlama ve perioperatif havayolu yönetimindeki güçlükler nedeniyle ölümcül olabilecek kadar ciddi bir hasardır. Bu vakaların tanınmasında yüksek klinik şüphe gerekir ve erken müdahale ile tedavi sonuçları daha iyidir. Anestezist, havayolunun güvenliği ve trakeanın tamiri sırasındaki güçlüklerin farkında olarak bu tür hastaları tedavi etmelidir. Uygun planlama ve yedek planların oluşturulmasıyla bu tür hastalar başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilebilirler. Trakeanın tamiri sırasında, total intravenöz anestezi uygulanıp yırtığın distalindeki trakeaya endotrakeal tüp yerleştirilirken anestezik tedavinin modifiye edilmesi gerekmektedir.

Anahtar sözcükler: Trakeal yırtık, anestezik tedavi, havayolu
