Tracheal stenosis is an uncommon but severe problem after long-term intubation. Here, we report a patient who came from a containment zone of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and presented with complaints of breathlessness and cough. She was suspected to have an infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Later, she developed type 2 respiratory failure and carbon dioxide narcosis because of delay in diagnosis of severe, near-complete postintubation tracheal stenosis due to over suspicion of COVID-19 during the current pandemic.
气管狭窄是长期插管后一种不常见但严重的问题。在此,我们报告一名来自2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)隔离区的患者,其主诉为呼吸急促和咳嗽。她被怀疑感染了严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)。后来,由于在当前疫情期间过度怀疑COVID-19,延误了对严重的、近乎完全的插管后气管狭窄的诊断,她发展为2型呼吸衰竭和二氧化碳麻醉。
