Core Tip

Core Tip: Tracheal intubation for traumatic bronchial rupture is difficult and complex. A modified tracheal intubation is a simple method to establish and maintain a patent airway for respiratory support in traumatic bronchial rupture. We treated a 3-year-old boy successfully using a modified tracheal tube which was inserted under the guidance of a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
