Permanent sequelae of nasotracheal intubation are uncommon, but acute ulceration and squamous metaplasia occur. Histological sections from the trachea and main bronchi were examined in 12 infants. A nasotracheal tube had been inserted during the first two weeks of life of these infants and had been in place for more than one week. In four cases the patient died some time (7 to 108 days) after extubation. Similar sections from patients who were not intubated, intubated only for attempted resuscitation, or intubated for several hours were studied for comparison. The sections were classified according to the degree of mucosal loss and metaplasia, and the extent of the lesions was estimated. Squamous change was seen in most sections from all 12 patients with the exception of one who died 57 days after extubation. Some respiratory epithelium was seen in all patients. In the eight patients who died while intubated, the changes were more marked in the right main bronchus than the left in seven, and more marked in the lower trachea than the upper in five. In the two patients intubated for several hours, in addition to mucosal loss, early metaplasia was seen. It is suggested that mucosal loss is replaced by the squamous metaplasia, and that trauma caused by suction catheters in the lower trachea and right main bronchus is more extensive than that due to the endotracheal tube itself.

Here we report an extremely rare presentation of internal jugular vein catheterization, presenting as massive hemoptysis which was noted during right internal jugular vein cuffed hemodialysis catheter insertion of a 39-year-old man known-case of End-Stage Renal Disease. Chest roentgenogram and computerized tomography scan showed pleural effusion and misplacement of the tip of hemodialysis catheter in the posterior mediastinum causing possible damage to the right main bronchus. After chest tube insertion and removing the misplaced hemodialysis catheter, a proper cuffed catheter was inserted and the patient was discharged with an uneventful post-op course.

Foreign body aspiration can be a life-threatening emergency. Broken tracheostomy tube in tracheobronchial tree is one of the rarest types of foreign body reported. Here we report two cases of fracture of metallic tracheostomy tube, leading to foreign body in tracheobronchial tree. A 14-year-old girl presented to our Emergency Department with history of respiratory distress and violent bouts of cough since 2 days. Chest X-ray showed that the broken part of the tube was lodged in the right main bronchus. The presence of Parkinson’s disease in the patient and restricted neck flexion offered a challenge both for the anaesthetist and the surgeon. We were successful in removing the broken tube in 13 small pieces. Check bronchoscopy was clear and the procedure went uneventful. We would like to conclude that broken tracheostomy tube presenting as foreign body bronchus is infrequent but it is a preventable complication of tarcheostomy. The patient must be kept on regular follow up to check for signs of wear and tear. Timely and periodic replacement of tracehostomy tube should also be done, otherwise such life-saving surgery can become lifethreatening.
