Transtracheal oxygen delivery seems to be a safe procedure in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic hypoxaemia. Even so, serious complications do occur. Three patients in whom we used a subcutaneous tunnelled intratracheal oxygen catheter (ITO2C) are described. Surgical intervention was required in all because of complications from the procedure. One of the complications--tracheal and catheter obstruction with stridor and subcutaneous emphysema by granulomatous tissue--has to our knowledge not been reported before.
经气管给氧在治疗伴有慢性低氧血症的慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）时似乎是一种安全的方法。即便如此，严重并发症确实会发生。本文描述了3例使用皮下隧道式气管内给氧导管（ITO2C）的患者。由于该操作引起的并发症，所有患者均需要进行手术干预。据我们所知，其中一种并发症——肉芽肿组织导致气管和导管阻塞，并伴有喘鸣和皮下气肿——此前尚未见报道。
