[Parameters of trauma at posterior subglottic region by long term translaryngeal intubation (author's transl)].
The mechanical lesion is the beginning of inflammation and destruction in the posterior subglottic region in some cases of long term translaryngeal intubated patients. Beside movement of the tube, it is the pressure upon the posterior cartilage which is dangerous. The circumstances of that danger are studied. Practical proposals for reduction of subglottic complications are discussed.
