Tracheotomy Cannula as a Foreign Body in Pediatric Airway Management
Abstract
Proper airway management is a challenge for every anesthesiologist. During a shift in the emergency room, a difficult airway often appears both in cases of trauma and medical pathology. The tracheotomy cannula is a device suited to ensure airway opening of patients with obstruction or lesion of the upper respiratory tract. In this medical case, a 7 year old female child is admitted at the emergency service with an episode of respiratory distress caused by rupture of a silver tracheotomy cannula, previously implanted due to a submandibular tumoral lesion. This is a rare case with little investigation in international medical literature The case was approached with interdisciplinary management including Pediatric surgery and Pulmonology with satisfactory outcome.
