Abstrakt: Introduction: Post-intubation tracheal rupture (PiTR) is an extremely uncommon disorder. Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, hemorrhage, cutaneous emphysema, and sepsis are common clinical presentations that eventually result in organ failure and mediastinitis. Endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) are considered the gold standards for assessment and diagnosis.
Case Presentation: Here, the authors present a 96-year-old woman with asthma and ischemic heart disease presented to the Emergency Department with dyspnea following viral pneumonia. Despite initial treatment, her condition worsened, requiring tracheal intubation. Subsequent complications led to a diagnosis of tracheal rupture, requiring surgical repair. The procedure involved using a muscle graft from the Latissimus Dorsi muscle: which is a novel Surgical Technique as the authors have conducted a literature review.
Discussion: Upon scrutinizing analogous cases delineated within the medical literature, it becomes evident that our patient manifests four distinct risk factors. These factors include gender, advanced age, asthma, and prolonged steroid use.While the clinical manifestation and diagnostic methods for tracheal rupture are frequently consistent throughout cases, there is a significant variation in the surgical treatments used to treat the condition.
Conclusion: More research should be conducted to investigate the use of muscle grafts as a treatment technique for tracheal rupture in the future.
