The literature relating to fractured tracheostomy tubes is reviewed and a further case reported. The factors which are known to predispose to this accident include the materials used in the manufacture of the tracheostomy tube and the actual manufacturing processes. Others are the chemical processes which result from the prolonged contact of the tracheostomy tube with respiratory secretions, the methods employed in the care and re-sterilization of the tubes, and the ageing and deterioration that result from prolonged usage. Some preventative measures are suggested.
本文回顾了与气管切开套管破裂相关的文献，并报告了另一例病例。已知易引发这一事故的因素包括气管切开套管制造中使用的材料及实际制造工艺。其他因素有气管切开套管与呼吸道分泌物长期接触所产生的化学过程、套管护理和再次灭菌所采用的方法，以及长期使用导致的老化和损坏。文中提出了一些预防措施。
