An occult tracheal pouch causing life-threatening endotracheal tube displacements in an infant after repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula
Tracheal pouches can cause dangerous respiratory problems. This case concerns an occult tracheal pouch in a child, occurring after neonatal repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. The pouch caused life-threatening displacements of endotracheal tubes, both during and after intuba...
