[Medical treatment of an important trachea injury after tracheal intubation].
Tracheal injuries are rare but life threatening complications of anaesthesia. Two therapeutic strategies are presently proposed: a non-surgical strategy for small injuries and a surgical strategy for larger ones. This case report presented the non-surgical therapeutic strategy of a large tracheal injury. This strategy was discussed according to other published reports.
