Endo tracheal intubation (Airway Management) in a patient with Tracheal stent
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Tracheal stent is one of the newer modalities of airway management used to manage airway compromise due to tracheal lesion of a malignant or benign disease. Skilful airway management is critical in a patient with a tracheal stent in situ. Any failure in this technique can lead to many complications like displacement of stent, bleeding, perforation which can lead to increase in morbidity and mortality. We present a case of emergency airway management of a patient with a tracheal stent in situ for a malignant mass, which was managed with an awake fibreoptic intubation. Keywords: Tracheal stent, awake fibreoptic intubation, Airway Management
