Pseudomembrane Formation after Traumatic Left Bronchial Injury
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Thoracic trauma is major cause of trauma related hospitalization with mortality ranging from 15-77%.Among them tracheobronchial injury is on rise. Bronchoscopy is mandatory for exclusion or confirmation of bronchial rupture. Spiral C.T. scan is helpful for diagnosis and localization of injury. Though conservative treatment is useful for small lesion early surgical intervention may be necessary to prevent irreversible loss of lung parenchyma. Early diagnostic techniques like bronchoscopy are useful in revealing condition of the bronchus as seen in this case of 20 yr old female patient whose bronchus obliterated with formation of pseudo membrane after injury. Early surgical intervention can prevent complications due to mediastinitis leading to sepsis and MODS. Keywords: tracheobronchial injury, bronchoscopy, sepsis, chest injury.
