Penetran Tracheal Injury: A Rakshe Accident

Year 2019, Volume: 72 Issue: 1, 118 - 120, 13.06.2019

Abstract

Tracheal injury is a rare pathology, but 30% of all cases can be fatal and 50% of those patients will deteriorate in couple of hours and may lead to death. The course of treatment must be scheduled by clinical status and severity of pathology; conservative approaches can be followed for minor injuries but major injuries must be performed for advanced cases. A 36-years-old male patient was referred to our hospital from an external center after suffering from a traffic accident. On physical examination, on the neck, there was an approximately 8 cm long horizontal incision extending into the left side of the trachea. When the incision in the neck was partially explored, it was seen that the trachea was cut due to trauma to the penetrant. The patient was operated on emergency conditions. The trachea was repaired by suturing using 3-0 polypropylene sutures. The injuries of the thyroid and vena jugularis interna were repaired. The patient was discharged after 2 days of intensive care and 2 days of follow-up. Mortality and morbidity rates of penetrating tracheal injuries higher. Also surprise major artery cuts may also accompany the injury. For this reason, physical examination, radiological findings and bronchoscopy should be performed in early stages for differential diagnosis and should the most appropriate treatment choice prefer for reduce high risks.

Penetran Trakeal Yaralanma: Bir Rakşa Kazası

Year 2019, Volume: 72 Issue: 1, 118 - 120, 13.06.2019

Abstract

Trakeal yaralanmalar nadir görülen bir patolojidir fakat %30 oranında mortal seyreder ve %50 oranında saatler içerisinde kötüleşerek ölümle sonuçlanır. Tedavinin seyri klinik duruma ve patolojinin şiddetine göre planlanmalıdır; küçük yaralanmalar konservatif yaklaşımla takip edilebilir, ancak ileri olgular için cerrahi planlanmalıdır. Otuz altı yaşında erkek hasta trafik kazası nedeni ile götürüldüğü dış merkezden hastanemize sevk edildi. Fizik muayenesinde boyunda trakea üzerinde orta hattan sola doğru uzanımı olan yaklaşık 8 cm uzunluğunda horizontal bir kesi vardı. Boyundaki kesi kısmi eksplore edildiğinde trakeanın penetran travma nedeni ile kesildiği görüldü. Hasta acil şartlarda opere edildi. Trakea 3-0 polipropilen sütür kullanılarak dikilerek onarıldı. Tiroid ve vena jugularis interna yaralanmaları tamir edildi. Hasta iki gün yoğun bakım ve 2 gün servis takibinden sonra taburcu edildi. Penetran trakeal yaralanmaların mortalite ve morbidite oranları yüksektir. Ayrıca yaralanmaya sürpriz majör vasküler kesiler eşlik edebilir. Bu nedenle ayırıcı tanı için erken dönemde fizik muayane, radyolojik görüntüleme, bronkoskopi yapılmalı ve yüksek riskleri azaltmak için en uygun tedavi seçeneği tercih edilmelidir.
