THE ROLE OF MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN THE EMERGENCY DIAGNOSIS OF THE TRACHEOBRONCHIAL INJURY AFTER ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION - CASE REPORT

Tracheobronchial injury (TBI) is a rare complication occurring after endotracheal intubation. Treatment can be conservative for small lesions and when the patient’s condition is stable, or surgical for bigger lesions and when pneumomediastinum and/or subcutaneous emphysema threaten the patient’s lif...
