摘要

Background

Tracheobronchial injuries, which are rare complications of intubation, can be overlooked without a high degree of clinical suspicion. While traditionally managed surgically, recent literature proposes nonoperative management for low-risk injuries.

Case presentation.

This case illustrates a 56-year old Caucasian Canadian female with a grade IIIA injury successfully treated conservatively using an endotracheal tube and medical therapy. Consequently, it suggests that nonoperative management may be suitable for patients meeting specific criteria indicative of clinical stability.

Conclusion

These insights challenge the conventional surgical approach and emphasize the potential efficacy of conservative measures in selected cases of tracheobronchial injury.
