Postintubation Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare complication. Acquired TEF most commonly occurred following prolonged mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, cuff-related tracheal injury, post-intubation injury. We present a case of both tracheomegaly and tracheosephagial fistula following mechanical ventilation for 15 days, in the light of the literature.
气管插管后气管食管瘘(TEF)是一种罕见的并发症。获得性TEF最常见于长时间使用气管内插管或气管造口管进行机械通气、与套管相关的气管损伤、插管后损伤之后。根据文献,我们报告一例在机械通气15天后出现气管扩大和气管食管瘘的病例。
