Özet

Clinicians can encounter various complications after endotracheal intubation as a result of patient anatomy, difficult intubation, and time and number of interventions performed. A life-threatening complication of intubation is iatrogenic tracheal rupture that leads to pulmonary air leak syndromes. In this case report, we present a 10-month-old patient who presented to the healthcare center with cyanosis and cough after foreign body aspiration and underwent endotracheal intubation for hypoxia. In our report, we aim to draw attention to tracheal rupture, a complication that was identified in bronchoscopy and found to be associated with repeated interventions and stylet use.
