TRACHEAL SURGERY USING PERIPHERAL CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS WITHOUT USING INITIAL ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

Abstract

While ventilatory support can be life-saving, it can also have negative consequences such as postintubation tracheal stenosis, which is caused by injury to the larynx and trachea. Cardiopulmonary bypass is typically not employed for the surgical treatment of tracheal stenosis. Nevertheless, wait s discovered that utilising cardiopulmonary bypass can offer benets during tracheal resection and reconstruction.
