Tracheal rupture is infrequently reported, but it is considered to be fatal condition. The most common cause of tracheal rupture is neck injury, but, rarely reported after tracheal intubation. We report a 49-year old woman with dyspnea presenting tracheal rupture after endotracheal intubation. It is detected that tracheal rupture with herniation of esophagus at the level of T1 spine by computed tomography and bronchoscopy. We had a successful repair by suturing between tracheal and esophageal wall. The patient was followed up without any complication.

기관 삽관으로 인한 기관 기관지 파열은 매우 드문 합병증이다. 저자들은 이중관 튜브의 삽관후 발생한 기관 파열을 경험하였다. 76세 여자 환자가 간헐적인 기침과 흉부 불편감을 주소로 내원하였다. 재발된 선천성 좌측주 기관지 식도 루 진단하에 수술을 시행하였다. 수술중 우연히 기관파열이 관찰되었고 기관파\ulcorner은 풍선의 과팽창에 의한 것이었으며 파열부위의 기관을 prolene과 흡수성 봉합사를 이용하여 단단 문합 하였다. 수술후 환자는 합병 증없이 퇴원하였으며 외래를 통해 추적 관찰 중이다.

Tracheal rupture by a blunt trauma is an uncommon injury, and its clinical presentations are variable. It is a kind of the modern hazard. Herewith, we report a successful management of the tracheal rupture. A 22 year-old female was transferred from other hospital 4 hours after a car crash. Physical examination, simple chest X-ray, Chest CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed rupture of the membranous portion of the trachea about 5cm in length extending to the right main bronchus. Ruptured membraous portion of the trachea was sutured directly with absorbable suture. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed intact membranous portion of the trachea.

흉부 압박상에 의한 경부 기관의 파열은 매우 드물게 발생하며, 여러 가지 기전에 의해 설명되고 있다. 기관 손상을 받은 많은 환자는 병원에 도착하기 전에 사망하기 때문에 빠른 진단에 의한 치료는 예후를 결정하는 데 매우 중요하다. 교통사고에 의한 흉부 압박상으로 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 8세의 남아에서 발생한 경부 기관의 완전파열 1예를 조기 진단하여 수술치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

비관통성 흉부손상에 의한 기관-기관지 파열의 높은 사망률과 이환율은 조기 진단과 수술로 이를 낮출 수 있으므로 초기 임상증상과 단순흉부방사선상 기관-기관지 파열이 의심되는 소견이 있으면 바로 기관지경검사로 기관-기관지 파열을 진단하고 적절한 치료를 해야한다. 저자들은 교통사고후 비관통성 흉부손상을 받고 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 환자에서 기관지경검사로 기관 파열을 조기 진단하여 수술적 치료로 회복시킨 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The rupture of tracheobronchial tree caused by non penetrating blunt trauma is being increased in incidence though it is still rarely occurred on now Because this type of injury is uncommon, a high index of suspicion should be maintained in all crush injuries involving the chest. Early diagnosis and primary repair not only restore normal lung function but also avoid the difficulties and complications associated with delayed diagnosis and repair. We experienced a case of tracheobronchial rupture caused by non penetrating blunt chest trauma without rib fracture. The patient was a 16 year old male who was a high school student. He was compressed on anterior chest by hand ball goal post being failed down on the morning of admission day. After this accident, he was suffered from progressively developing dyspnea and subcutaneous emphysema on face, neck and anterior chest. The diagnosis, tracheal rupture, was made by chest CT and bronchoscopy. After right thoracotomy, the ruptured site was directly closed by using interrupted suture. Post-operative course was uneventful. Thus we report this case of traumatic tracheal rupture with review of literature.

We describe the successful insertion of a nasotracheal tube following repeated cuff rupture. The patient was a 55-year-old woman with a history of nasal trauma and multiple rhinoplasties, who underwent elective Lefort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for correction of skeletal facial deformity. During fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided nasal intubation after the induction of general anesthesia, the tracheal tube repeatedly ruptured in both nares, despite extensive preparation of the nasal airways. We covered the cuff with a one-inch tape, intubated to the level of the oropharynx, pulled the tracheal tube out through the mouth, and removed the tape. The tracheal tube was then backed out to the level of the uvula, and was successfully advanced.

The tracheobronchial rupture from blunt trauma is an uncommon injury with a variety of clinical presentations. Most of traumatic tracheobronchial tears occur within 2.5cm of the tracheal carina; lobar or segmental bronchi are rarely affected. Recently we experienced one case of traumatic rupture of right middle lobar bronchus in a patient who had fallen from a bicycle. Bronchoscopy showed linear disruption of the right middle lobe bronchus at its bifurcation site. Emergency right middle lobectomy was performed. The patient was recovered without any sequelae.

Growth of suture line and anastomosis is required for long-term success after the tracheal and bronchial surgery in infant and pediatric patient. We used various suture materials in these cases, but the results were differ. To select the adequate suture material in tracheal surgery, we tried next. Tracheal anastomoses were performed in 150 Sprague Dawley rats, aged 4 to 8 [mean 5.8] weeks and weight 62 to 106[mean 83.6] gram, to compare polydioxanone[PDS] 7-0, polyglactin 910[Vicryl]7-0, and polypropylene [prolene] 8-0 suture materials. In 150 rats, only 29[20%] were lived over 300 days, and the weight was 250 to 320[mean 289.5]gram. Cross sectional area of the anastomoses and two or three tracheal rings below anastomosis site were measured under microscope, and calculated and compared as Hsieh`s equition. Cross-sectional area,anastomosis site/normal site 100, were 89.4 $\pm$ 5.34% in PDS group[n=9], 75.7 $\pm$ 6.06% in Vicrylgroup [n = 10], and 80.8$\pm$ 4.06% in Prolene group[n = 10]. Histopathologic studies were done for all autopsies or put in death around 300 days postoperatively. PDS absorblion was not seen 16 weeks after suture but disappeared over 24 weeks slide. Vicryl absorbtion was noted postoperative 8 to 16 weeks, with marked tissue reaction. Prolene showed least tissue reaction, but the suture material was persisted with regional fibrotic capsule.Causes of death were respiratory failure in 76 cases, tracheal rupture in 22 cases, hemorrhage, biting, starvation and etc. in 23 cases. With the brief review of literatures, we report the results.

흉부 둔상에 의한 기도와 식도의 동시적 파열상은 매우 드물게 발생되고 있다. 그러나 최그들어 고속 교통사고의 증가와 환자에 대한 응급체계의 발전으로 점차 치험 보고례가 증가되고 있다. 저자들은 흉부의 둔상에 의하여 기도와 식도에 종적으로 긴 파열상을 입은 환자 2례의 치험을 보고한다. 1례는 이전 병원에서 시행한 기관식도 재건술이 실패한 상태에서 전원되어와 2차적으로 식도절제 및 기관재건술을 실시하였으나 사망하였고. 다른 1례는 식도절제 및 기도재건술로 합병증이 없이 생존하였다.
