Article information

En el presente artículo se describen 2 casos clínicos que corresponden a pacientes que ingresan a nuestro hospital para recibir tratamiento quirúrgico electivo de patologías biliar y vascular, respectivamente. Presentan en el curso del postoperatorio inmediato cuadros atribuibles a rotura traumática de la pars membranosa traqueal ocasionados por la intubación anestésica.

Diagnosticadas las lesiones de vías aéreas y realizada una valoración del estado general se decide en ambos casos mantener un tratamiento médico conservador, asistiendo en el curso de pocos días a una curación completa libre de complicaciones.

De esta manera se demuestra la efectividad de esta opción terapéutica en el manejo de esta temida complicación.

Palabras clave:
Rotura traqueal
Intubación
Tratamiento conservador

This case report describes two patients admitted to our hospital for elective surgery, one for biliary disease and the other for vascular disease. Shortly after surgery each presented a clinical picture attributable to membranous tracheal pars rupture caused by anesthetic intubation.

Airway lesions were diagnosed and, after patient status was evaluated, conservative medical treatment was prescribed in both cases. Outcome was excellent, with no complications, within a few days.

These cases demonstrate the efficacy of this way of managing this potentially serious complication.

Key words:
Tracheal breakage
Intubation
