Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cervical range of motion training on the change in respiratory function growth rate at the group and individual level in stroke patients and stroke patients with tracheostomy tube. Design: A Multilevel Growth Model Methods: 8 general stroke patients and 6 stroke patients who had a tracheostomy tube inserted were subjected to cervical range of motion training 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Force vital capacity (FVC), Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Forced expiration ratio (FEV1/FVC) and Manual assist peak cough flow (MPCF) were measured. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multilevel analysis with HLM 8.0. Results: A significant difference was found in the respiratory function analysis growth rate of the entire group (p<0.05), and two groups were added to the research model. The linear growth rate of respiratory function in patients with general stroke increased with the exception of FEV1/FVC (p<0.05). Stroke patients with tracheostomy tube showed a decreasing pattern except for FVC. In particular, MPCF showed a significantly decreased result (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study found that the maintenance of improved respiratory function in stroke patients with tracheostomy tube decreased over time. However, cervical range of motion training is still a useful method for respiratory function in general stroke patients and stroke patients with tracheostomy tube.

Tracheo-innominate artery fistula[TIF] is the uncommon delayed fatal complication of tracheostomy. The mortality rate of the lesion, if not treated surgically, approaches 100%. A 64-year-old man presenting with a TIF after tracheostomy was treated by lateral repair and muscle interposition between the innominate artery and trachea. Preoperatively, bleeding was controlled by gauze packing around the tude under manual compression and hyperinflation of the balloon cuff of the tracheostomy tube. No abnormality was found by angiographic evaluation. The patient failed to regain consciousness and died 4 days later from sepsis.

Fracture of tracheostomy tube with subsequent migration into the tracheobronchial tree is rare, but tracheobronchial foreign body in child carries the potentially fatal risk of respiratory obstruction, We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who had aspirated a fractured tracheostomy tube which was removed under rigid bronchoscope.

기관절개술은 가장 오래된 수술기술 중의 하나로 상기도 폐쇄의 경감, 장기간의 기계호흡유지, 보조적 기계호흡시에 기도 저항의 감소 등의 목적으로 시행할 수 있다. 기관절개술에 따른 초기합병증으로는 기흉, 피하조직기종, 절개부위 출혈, 종격동 기종, 흡인, 기관절개 관 전위 등을 들 수 있다. 수술에 따른 피하조직기종과 기흉은 0.9-5%에서 보고되었다. 본 증례에서는 기관절개술 직후에 피하조직기종과 양측 폐에서 발생한 긴장성 기흉을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to create a scoring system that provides comprehensive assessment of patients with oromaxillofacial cancer or odontogenic infection, and to statistically reevaluate the results in order to provide specific criteria for elective tracheostomy. Materials and Methods: All patients that had oral cancer surgery (group A) or odontogenic infection surgery (group B) during a period of 10 years (2003 to 2013) were subgrouped according to whether or not the patient received a tracheostomy. After a random sampling (group A: total of 56, group B: total of 60), evaulation procedures were observed based on the group classifications. For group A, four factors were evaluated: TNM stage, reconstruction methods, presence of pathologic findings on chest posterior-anterior (PA), and the number of systemic diseases. Scores were given to each item based on the scoring system suggested in this research and the scores were added together. Similarly, the sum score of group B was counted using 5 categories, including infection site, C-reactive protein level on first visit, age, presence of pathologic findings on chest PA, and number of systemic diseases. Results: The scoring system rendered from this research shows that there is a high correlation between the scores and TNM stage in oral cancer patients, or infection sites in odontogenic infection patients. However, no correlation between pathologic findings on chest PA could be found in either group. The results also indicated that for both groups, the hospital day increased with the tracheostomy score. The tracheostomy score cutoff value was 5 in oral cancer patients and 6 in odontogenic infection patients which was used for elective tracheostomy indication. Conclusion: The elective tracheostomy score system suggested by this research is a method that considers both the surgical and general conditions of the patient, and can be very useful for managing patients with severe oral disease.

Background: A significant proportion of cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU) patients require long-term ventilation, necessitating tracheostomy placement. The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term postoperative outcomes and complications associated with percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in CSICU patients. Methods: All patients undergoing PDT after cardiac, thoracic, or vascular operations in the CSICU between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2021 were identified. They were evaluated for mortality, decannulation time, and complications including bleeding, infection, and need for surgical intervention. Multivariable regression models were used to identify predictors of early decannulation and the complication rate. Results: Ninety-three patients were identified for this study (70 [75.3%] male and 23 [24.7%] female). Furthermore, 18.3% of patients had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 21.5% had history of stroke, 7.5% had end-stage renal disease, 33.3% had diabetes, and 59.1% were current smokers. The mean time from PDT to decannulation was 39 days. Roughly one-fifth (20.4%) of patients were on dual antiplatelet therapy and 81.7% had anticoagulation restarted 8 hours post-tracheostomy. Eight complications were noted, including 5 instances of bleeding requiring packing and 1 case of mediastinitis. There were no significant predictors of decannulation prior to discharge. Only COPD was identified as a negative predictor of decannulation at any point in time (hazard ratio, 0.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.08-0.95; p=0.04). Conclusion: Percutaneous tracheostomy is a safe and viable alternative to surgical tracheostomy in cardiac surgery ICU patients. Patients who undergo PDT have a relatively short duration of tracheostomy and do not have major post-procedural complications.

There are more patients with tracheal stenosis lately due to the increased use of tracheostomy and assisted ventilation. Recently we have experienced two cases of post tracheostomy tracheal stenosis and successfully performed circumferential resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea. Postoperative tracheostomy was not performed. The postoperative courses were uneventful and they are now conducting an usual life.

연구배경 : 외과적 기관절개술(surgical tracheostomy, ST)은 수술장에서 외과의에 의해 시행되며 중환자의 경우 수술장으로 이동은 위험을 수반하고, 또한 수술장과 외과의가 확보되지 않아 적기에 시행되지 못하는 경우도 흔하다. ST에 대한 대안으로 최근 경피적 확장 기관절개술(percutaneous dilational tracheostomy, PDT)이 구미에서 많이 시행되고 있으나 국내에서는 아직 보편화되지 않아 PDT의 시술 용이성 및 합병증을 ST와 비교해 보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 7일 이상 기계 환기 중이거나 인공 기도 확보가 요구되는 중환자 38명을 대상으로 ST(n=18) 또는 PDT(n=20)를 시행하였다. PDT군에 비해 ST군의 여성 비가 높은 것 외에 양 군 간에 임상적 특성은 차이가 없었다. ST군은 이비인후과 전공의에 의해, PDT군은 내과 전공의 또는 호흡기내과의에 의해 각각 기관절개술이 시행되었다. PDT는 기관지경 보조하에 Ciaglia Percutaneous Tracheostomy Set(Cook Critical Care, Bloomington, USA)를 사용하였다. 양 군에서 시술 의사 미확보 등으로 당일 기관절개술이 이루어지지 못한 건수, 기관절개술 시술 소요 시간 및 기관절개술과 관련된 합병증 발생율 등을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 기관절개술이 결정된 후 당일 시행되지 못한 예는 ST군에서 11예(61%), PDT군에서는 3예(15%)였다(P<0.05). 시술 소요 시간은 ST군 $29.1{\pm}11.6$ 분, PDT군 $15.6{\pm}7.1$ 분이었다(P<0.0001). 기관절개술의 합병증은 ST군에서 T-cannula의 우발적 발관 l예, 피하기종 2예, 소량 출혈 2예, PDT군에서 기관내 관의 조기 발관 1예, 소량 출혈 2예 및 피하기종 1예가 발생하였다(P>0.05). 결 론 : PDT는 중환자에서 수술장 이동이나 외과의 확보의 필요 없이 즉시 시행할 수 있고, 술기 습득이 용이하며 합병증은 ST와 비교하여 차이가 없었다.

Fractured tracheostomy tube presenting as foreign body in the tracheobronchial tree is very rare. Authors experienced a case of broken tracheostomy tube presenting as a foreign body in the trachea, which was removed with the help of flexible bronchoscope. A few causes could be suggested for the tube break: aging and deterioration of the tube with repeated use, a flaw of the tube in the manufacturing process, and a wrong sterilization.method causing weakness of the tube. We report this case with brief literature review.

기관 절개술은 상기도 폐색의 경감, 하기도 분비물의 제거, 사공의 감소 등을 위하여, 또는 보조 호흡의 수단이나 두경부 수술을 위한 선택적 수술로서 시행된다. 기관 절개술과 술후 처치에서 많은 합병증이 발생할 수 있다. 최근 저자들은 2세 때 심한 두경부 화상으로 기관절개술을 받고, 10 년간 기관 절개관을 삽관한 채 지내다, 기관절개관이 삭아 부러져서 내원한 12세 남아 1 례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
