• Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s.
• The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm.
• Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques now permits more than half of the trachea to
be safely excised.

Why
Tracheal Surgery is a Particularly Challenging Situation for Anesthesiologist ?
![Page 4: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prolonged procedures,
Unavoidable episodes of ventilatory insufficiency,
Adequate gas exchange must be guaranteed,
Adequate visualization of an immobile endotracheal lumen is essential for the surgeon,
Require utmost communication bet. anesthesia & surgical teams,
Anesthetic plane should be fashioned for extubation at OR.

• Adult tracheal length : 10-13 cm.
• Approx 2 cartilaginous rings per cm (total of 18-22).
• These C-shaped rings form the Ant. & Lat. tracheal walls. The post. wall is membranous.
• The tracheal ID: – about 2.3 cm lat. – about 1.8 cm anteropost.
Tracheal Anatomy
![Page 6: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Conversely, head extension results in a longer portion of trachea
becoming cervical.
When the head is flexed, the trachea can become
completely mediastinal.

Etiology of Tracheal Pathology
• Tracheal stenosis is primarily a result of tracheal tumors (<3:1000,000), penetrating or blunt trauma, and “Post-intubation , & tracheostomy stenosis”
• Early 1950s (Poliomyelitis epidemic) → tracheostomy became common for treatment of respiratory failure → complications started to appear.
![Page 8: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• As pts began to survive longer periods, complications related to “cuffed ETT” starts to evolve
• “Low-volume/High-pressure cuff”: up to 250 mm Hg before ETT sealed to the tracheal wall.
With the recognition of the problem;
• “High-volume/low-pressure cuffs” were introduced in the early 1970s. The incidence of tracheal stricture dramatically reduced.
Etiology of Tracheal Pathology

• Post-intubation stricture continued to occur, but at a much lower rate due to: Damage at the stomal site (tracheostomy), Cuffs (over-inflation), ETT size (Large-bore), ETT movement;
Spont/Assist ventilation Heavy circuit
Pt. survival (prolonged mucosal exposure to FB). Others: ( Steroid, DM, infection, ↓BP, NGT).

Stenosis site varies
according to whether
trachea is intubated
(orally/nasally) or
tracheostomized.

• Non specific symptoms – delaying diagnosis for many years.
• Progressive exercise intolerance (>50%) √√√• Hemoptysis, persistent cough, • Exercise stridor stridor @ rest (when
diameter ≤ 5 mm)• Recurrent pneumonia• Cyanosis: very Late (signaling almost complete
occlusion)
Clinical Presentation

"Any patient who has received ventilatory support in the recent past or even not so recent past, who develops signs
and symptoms of upper airway obstruction, has an organic lesion until proved otherwise.“
Grillo HC, Donahue DM. Post intubation tracheal stenosis. Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1996; 8: 370-80.
![Page 13: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The aim of diagnosis is to assess: Degree of stenosis, Length of tracheal damage, Distance from the vocal cords to the upper end of
the lesion & the distance from the lower end of the lesion to
the carina.
Diagnostic Studies

IV. Fluoroscopy: (Dynamic) identifying malacic segments +
information on laryngeal & glottic function.
V. Bronchoscopy: Rigid is the gold standard

VI. PFT (Flow-Volume Loops): Identify whether the obstruction is:
Fixed or Variable Intra or Extra thoracic

Surgical Considerations
• Surgical techniques include Insertion of a T-tube, Resection & 1ry anastomosis, Resection & reconstruction prosthetic
material, Reconstruction with tissue engineered
prosthetic cartilage.

• The first 4.5 cm are accessible with cervical approach.
• A further 1.5 cm can be added by median sternotomy or antero-lateral thoracotomy.
• The lower half of the trachea can be managed through right postero-lateral thoracotomy.
Surgical Approaches
![Page 21: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• ETCO2 , SPO2 ,
• A-line (Lt. arm /compression of innominate A) !!
• Anesthesia machine with “High insp P⁰ alarm” + delivering up to 20 L/min O2 (preferable),
• Assorted sizes of ETTs (4-uncuffed 8-cuffed),
• Armoured ETTs,
• Long sterile circuit &/or corrugated tubings (for surgeon) !!.
Monitoring & Equipment
![Page 22: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Sedation ?: requires good judgment (degree of obstruction),
Moderate Obst: ↓anxiety → quieter breathing → ↓ airway resistance.
Severely Obst: Resp dep should be avoided (Х Х)
• Antisialogues ?: use with caution (drying secretion mucus plug).
Premedication ??
![Page 23: Tracheal surgery was first performed in the 1950s. The maximum length to be resected was believed to be 2 cm. Progress in surgical and anesthesia techniques](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5516ca42550346f6208b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Readily available in O.R.: Surgeon + Rigid bronchoscopes (in case of obst)
• Inhalational: is the safest
• IV: may be used (airway judgment) BUT
• Spont breathing: should be maintained
• MR: better avoided
• Awake intubation: is an option

Special Considerations
• A guardian stitch is placed bet the chin and ant chest to achieve head flexion (35°).
• left for 7-10 days, serves as a reminder to the pt not to extend the neck to avoid traction on the anastomosis.
• It is surprisingly well tolerated by patients.

Early extubation is highly desirable as post operative ventilation carries the risk of an endotracheal tube cuff lying on a fresh anastomosis and positive airway pressure that can lead to wound necrosis or dehiscence.
