Endotracheal intubation is common practice for either general anesthesia or keeping artificial airway in various conditions. Despite of its great usefulness, however, laryngeal edema, ulceration, and granuloma are occasionally developed following endotracheal intubation as posttraumatic complications. Vocal cord paralysis is also rarely developed. Recently we experienced a case of left vocal cord paralysis with accompanying hoarseness following endotracheal general anesthesia for appendectomy. The symptoms of hoarseness and sore throat developed immediately after the general anesthesia. Periodic check revealed gradual return to normal function of the paralyzed cord with the complete function about 3 months after the anesthesia.

With the development of recent IT fusion technology, IT fusion technology of medical equipment has been dramatically development. The need to most basic preferential implementation of emergency is the respiration of the patient, it is necessary to first aid is maintained in emergency patients airway simultaneously. However, to the endotracheal intubation is a procedure to secure the airway, it requires experience and first aid, Inc. good career, very that may lead to sequelae in patients who otherwise have failed to procedures It is a sensitive and important procedure. For these reasons, the success rate of current endotracheal intubation technique is not at a high level and about 50 percent. In an attempt to complement these problems, in this paper, in the process of endotracheal intubation, intubated by inserting an endoscopic camera to Into Activation tube, the streaming is a real-time monitoring and wireless video transmission method using, there is a purpose of enabling the monitoring in smart devices increase the success rate of endotracheal intubation of first aid purchases.

최근 교통사고의 증가, 심폐술의 보편화 및 보조호흡을 필요로 하는 환자의 증가에 따라 경구적 혹은 기관절개술을 통해 기관내 삽관을 장기간 유치하는 경우가 많아져서 이에 따른 합병증으로 기관협착증의 빈도가 높아지게 되었다. 기관내 삽관후 기관협착증을 초래하는데에는 관의 외경, 삽관시 외상, 삽관유치기간, 기계적 보조호흡시 관의 이동, cuff 의 압력 등의 요인이 작용한다. 이러한 요인에 의해 기관내 삽관을 장기간 유치시 기관점막에 대한 지속적인 압박으로 점막하부의 압박괴사 및 혈관의 폐쇄로 인해 기관연골의 무혈성 괴사를 초래하여 환상의 기관협착이 병발하게 된다. 기관협착증에 대한 치료방법으로서는 여러 가지가 있으나 환상의 기관협착증인 경우는 협착부위의 절제 및 단단문합술을 시행하고 절제부위가 광범위한 경우는 release technique 을 이용하여 문합부위의 장력을 줄여주는 것이 효과적인 치료방법으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 최근 기관내 삽관후에 병발한 환상기관협착증 3례(다발성 골절 1례, 기관지 천식 1례, 약물중독 1례)에 대해 기관절제 및 단단문합술을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

구강저를 통한 기관내 삽관은 1986년 Altemir에 의해 처음 소개된 바 있는데 그 후 1993년 Hoenig와 Braun 및 같은 해 Stoll 등에 의해서나, 또는 1996년 Prochno 등에 의해 계속 변형된 방법으로 문헌에서 기술되어 왔다. 이 방법은 치과 영역 특히 구강악안면외과의 외상수술시 이상적인 교합을 얻기 위해 임시 상하악간 고정(intermaxillary fixation)을 할 수 있고 중안모 골절(midface fracture)의 회복을 위한 비관 삽관의 불편함을 피할 수 있는 유리한 점이 있으며, 또한, 정복 및 고정술이 필요한 비골 골절(nasal bone fracture)에서나 두개기저골 골절(skull base fracture)에서 여러 감염 등 합병증을 피하기 위해 추천될 수 있다. 또한, 목 부위에 비심미적인 반흔을 만들게 되며 여러 합병증을 초래할 수 있는 기관절개술(tracheostomy)보다 유용할 수 있다. 본 증례보고에서는 교통사고로 두개기저부 골절을 동반한 심한 중안모 골절 환자에서 적용시킨 경우를 알아보고, 아울러 이러한 악하부 삽관의 장, 단점 및 시술 과정 등에 대해 고찰해보고자 한다.

Tracheobronchial rupture following tracheal intubation is a rare complication. We experienced a case of tracheal rupture following double-lumen endotracheal tube intubation. A 76 year old female was admitted due to coughing and chest discomfort. The operation was performed with the diagnosis of congenital broncho esophageal fistula. During the operation, accidently the main trachea was ruptured longitudinally. There was no history of surgical trauma. The ruptured trachea was repaired with prolene and monofilament absorbable sutures. The cause of tracheal rupture was suspected overinflation of the cuff. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any significant complications.

Post-intubation tracheoesophageal fistula is rare, and its management causes a serious problems to surgeons. We have experienced 4 cases in 3 patients. Simple ditcision and closure of the fistulas were done by trans-cervical approach after weaning of ventilator. The tracheal defect was closed by simple suture, and the esophageal defect was closed in two layers before a viable muscle flap was interposed between the two suture lines in order to prevent recurrence. There was one delayed tracheal stenosls and one recurrent fistula, and these complications were also managed success ully.

Background: Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) ensures adequate gas exchange during bronchoscopy in spontaneously breathing, hypoxemic patients, thus avoiding endotracheal intubation. However, in some patients, endotracheal intubation is eventually required after bronchoscopy. This study investigated the incidence of intubation and predictors of a need for emergency intubation prior to NPPV bronchoscopy initiation. Methods: On a retrospective basis, we reviewed the medical records of 36 patients (median age, 55 years; interquartile range [IQR], 43~65 years) with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who required NPPV during bronchoscopy between January 2005 and October 2007. Results: All patients were hypoxemic (median $PaO_2/FiO_2$ ratio 155; IQR 90~190), but tolerated bronchoscopy with NPPV support. SOFA score and SAPS II score immediately before NPPV initiation were 4 (3~7) and 36 (30~42), respectively. Seventeen (47%) patients needed endotracheal intubation at a median time of 22 (2~50) hours after bronchoscopy. Patients who needed intubation after bronchoscopy had a higher in-hospital mortality (11 [65%] vs. 4 [21%], p=0.017). Upon multiple logistic regression analysis, the need for intubation after bronchoscopy was independently associated with a $P_aO_2/FiO_2$ ratio (OR, 0.961; 95% CI, 0.924~0.999; p=0.047) immediately before NPPV initiation for bronchoscopy. Conclusion: The severity of the hypoxemia immediately prior to NPPV initiation for bronchoscopy was associated with the need for intubation after bronchoscopy in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Background; Post-intubation injury is known to be the most common cause of tracheal stenosis. Treatment strategy for tracheal stenosis varies accoring to the extent of pathologic lesion. Focal mucosal lesion can be treated with laser photoablation, but full thickness tracheal lesion should be treated with resection and anastomosis. Material and Method; From Aptil 1998 to May 1999, twelve patients suffering from tracheal stenosis as a complication of endotracheal intubation were managed by resection and end-to-end anastomosis in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Gyeongsang National University Hospital. Result; There was no operative mortality. Five temporary vocal cord paralysis and one wound infection occurred as early complications. During 18 months of follow-up, re-stenosis was not found. Conclusion; Tracheal resection and anastomosis can be considered as an excellent surgical treatment for tracheal stenosis which developed as a complication of endotracheal intubation.

Clinical Observation was made on 37 cases of Endotracheal intubation patients in the ICU of Oriental Medical Hosptal of Tae- Jon University from January in 1992 to June in 1995. 1. There were many cases of Endotracheal intubation in ischemic attack hemorragic in order. 2. Cerebral embolism mostly occured in the MCA territory and cerebral thrombosis, ICH, in the pons, generally. 3. On admission the consciousness of the most patients was 3 to 7 point by GCS. 4. The ordinary preceeding disease was hypertension. 5. Most patients were discharged from ICU after 2 days. 5. Most patients were discharged from ICU after 2 days. 6. Endotracheal intubation was done most frequently from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and intubated time was less than 2 hours. 7. Endotracheal intubation was done in case of heart arrest than dyspnea cases. 8. The main complication of patients of C.V.A. in ICU were urinary tract infection, pneumonia in order. 9. There were no side effects after and by Endotracheal intubation.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is autosomal dominant disorder that occurs approximately 1 in 25,000 to 50,000 live births. The main signs of syndrome are hypoplasia of facial bone and microtia. One in third of them is associated with cleft palate and often shows dental hypoplasia. TCS patients need several number of surgery with general anesthesia throughout their life time for recovery of function and esthetic. Endotracheal intubation of TCS patient is very difficult due to microstomia, retrognathia, choanal stenosis, and decreased oropharyngeal airway. Therefore, general anesthesia of adolescent TCS patient with immature incisor roots has high risk of causing dental trauma. This case is regarding TCS patient who was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Yonsei University for avulsed upper left central incisor during endotracheal intubation. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the usefulness of mouth guard to prevent dental trauma when endotracheal intubation is needed for TCS patient.
