[Medical treatment by bilateral endobronchial intubation of iatrogenic tracheal lesion in intensive care].
We report one case of tracheal lesion following a change of cannula of tracheotomy in intensive care. The clinical features were respiratory failure, bilateral pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema. The bronchoscopy made diagnosis of tracheal lesion. The location of the lesion and the features of the patient made us choose a conservative treatment by bilateral endobronchial intubation. The different treatments of the tracheal lesions and the practical achievement of conservative treatment are discussed.
