Formation of posttraumatic cicatricial deformity in larynx and trachea
Abstract
The paper summarizes observations of 73 patients who underwent artificial pulmonary ventilation. In most cases (87.6%), doctors confirmed gastroesophagolaryngeal reflux of gastric contents. In case of Mendelson’s syndrome (12 patients), erosive and ulcerative affections of larynx were detected within the first day after intubation. On the third day, these types of affection were observed in 80.2% of cases. In case of long‑term intubation the reflux of the gastric contents in larynx and trachea caused granulations. Therefore, the reflux of gastric contents into traumatic injury zone of mucous tunic should be deemed as one of the leading risk factors for postreanimation cicatricial stenosis of larynx and trachea.
