Aspiration of a Blister Pack Tablet with Tracheal Obstruction and Perforation: Emergency Tracheal Repair with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support

Background  Airway management in case of acute tracheal injury is a challenging situation where the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has recently gained more importance. Case Description  We report the case of a 60-year old women with aspiration of a large blister pack tablet causin...

description Background  Airway management in case of acute tracheal injury is a challenging situation where the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has recently gained more importance. Case Description  We report the case of a 60-year old women with aspiration of a large blister pack tablet causing acute tracheal obstruction with asphyxia as well as tracheal perforation with tension pneumothorax. As bronchoscopy failed to retrieve the blister pack, emergency tracheal reconstruction with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support was carried out. Conclusion  The application of ECMO instantly alleviated the acute situation and provided excellent conditions for technically demanding emergency tracheal repair.
