A Rare Case of Pseudomembranous Tracheitis Presenting as Acute Stridor in a Patient after Extubation
Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology(2020)
Abstract
Pseudomembranous tracheitis is a rare life-threatening complication of endotracheal intubation. The exact mechanism of its formation is not well known, and it could mimic crusting or retained secretions in the trachea. We encountered a patient with history of recent intubation, presenting with acute stridor requiring emergency airway stabilization, and was eventually found to have pseudomembranous tracheitis.
