Conservative management of pediatric tracheal rupture. Pediatric pulmonology Sidell, D. R., Wood, R. E., Hart, C. K. 2017; 52 (1): E1-E3

Abstract

Traumatic injuries to the pediatric trachea are uncommon events that require prompt diagnosis and management. When they do occur, tracheal injuries often arise in the setting of high impact trauma and are accompanied by major injuries to other organ systems. In this report, we present the diagnosis and conservative management of tracheal rupture at the carina in an 11-year-old female with severe intracranial injuries.
