Abstract

Closed cervical tracheal rupture caused by trauma is a rare clinical emergency severe disease. We report the anesthesia experience of a 37-year-old male patient undergoing emergency tracheal reconstruction surgery due to a traumatic neck closed tracheal complete rupture. The patient was conscious and hoarse when entering the operation room, complained of dyspnea during inspirations, maxillofacial neck swelling, obvious subcutaneous crepitus of neck by palpation, and limited mouth opening. Mallampati grade III, neck movement was limited due to pain, and difficulty in intubation was considered in combination with the patient's neck, chest computed tomography (CT) and airway evaluation. Failure of intubation after the administration of muscle relaxants may result in rapid difficulty in establishing a surgical airway. Intubation under the guidance of awake bronchoscopy may fail to reach the distal tracheal end, and may lead to increased airway injury and inability to maintain ventilation. In order to ensure the safety of patient, it was decided to explore the neck incision under local anesthesia, find the broken end of the trachea, insert the endotracheal tube at the distal end, and then perform general anesthesia to control the airway. Intraoperative vital signs were stable of the patient. After the operation, the tracheostomy tube was changed and transferred the patient to ICU for further treatment. Patients with cervical tracheal rupture, establishing airway under local anesthesia with preserve the patient's spontaneous breathing combined sedation is a selection of security technology.
