Abstract
- Tracheobronchial rupture following tracheal intubation is a rare complication. We experienced a case of tracheal rupture following double-lumen endotracheal tube intubation. A 76 year old female was admitted due to coughing and chest discomfort. The operation was performed with the diagnosis of congenital broncho esophageal fistula. During the operation, accidently the main trachea was ruptured longitudinally. There was no history of surgical trauma. The ruptured trachea was repaired with prolene and monofilament absorbable sutures. The cause of tracheal rupture was suspected overinflation of the cuff. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any significant complications.
