abstract: Many patients who experience a long, complicated illness require endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy. A few patients develop potentially life-threatening post-intubation injuries. In this overview, common post-intubation injuries, emergency and surgical treatment for these complications, and pre and postoperative nursing management of these patients are discussed.
