Post-Intubation Tracheal Tearing in a Young Woman with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Reza Afghani

Tracheal tearing occurs rarely and If not detect early, can be life-threatening and lead to death. Tracheal tearing has different risk factors and knowing these risk factors and proper management of the airway can reduce the appalling events. Treatment options include conservative management without surgical repair, surgical repair, and treatment with endoscopic intervention. Studies have discussed various aspects of treatment of tracheal tearing, but standard treatment is surgical repair. Here, we introduce a woman with post intubation tracheal tearing and several risk factors that successfully improved with surgical treatment.
