Abstract:
Tracheal injury in neonates is a rare but serious complication of endotracheal intubation. The morbidity and mortality are associated with early recognition and adequate management. Herein, we reported a case of perioperative management of neonatal tracheal injury following multiple attempts at endotracheal intubation caused by unanticipated difficulty.
