Fractured tracheostomy tube migrating into the tracheobronchial tree: a rare complication.

Navneet Agarwal1, Ritu Agarwal.   

Abstract

Tracheostomy is a life saving procedure and many patients are discharged with permanent tracheostomy tubes. We report the rare occurrence of a fractured tracheostomy tube migrating into the tracheobronchial tree and highlight the clinical manifestations of this uncommon complication that carries the potential risk of fatal respiratory obstruction.
