Case report: Laryngeal foreign body after prehospital intubation by laryngeal tube
The use of extraglottic ventilation devices such as laryngeal masks and laryngeal tubes during prehospital airway management has increased over the last years in emergency medicine. This case report describes the diagnostics and operative therapy of a complication that occurred during the securing of the airway by laryngeal tube during prehospital reanimation. Potential complications of extraglottic ventilation devices are discussed.
During anaesthesia and cardiopulmonary resuscitation there should always be an inspection of the oral cavity for lose foreign bodies. In patients with foreign body sensation, dysphonia and dyspnea after extubation a fiberendoscopic or bronchoscopic examination by an ENT specialist is mandatory. The removal of foreign bodies from the upper airway requires an interdisciplinary management.
