tracheotomy

Common reasons for absent EtCO[sub]2 levels and waveform include disconnection of the ventilator circuit, equipment failure, apnea, airway obstruction, and malposition of endotracheal/tracheostomy tube.[5] Thus, for a patient with tracheostomy scheduled for anesthesia, we suggest detecting capnography before induction was essential and vital because tube dislodgement is a fatal complication in the first few days after tracheotomy. The incidence of this complication has been reported to be 0%-7% and could be life-threatening.[3],[4],[6],[7],[8],[9]

Acute epiglottitis (AE) is a potentially life-threatening infection of the supraglottic structures, which can lead to sudden, fatal airway obstruction,[1] may require urgent tracheal intubation or tracheotomy. However, there are no putative predictors for urgent airway intervention in AE, and the timing to establish an artificial airway for adult AE patients remains controversial.[1],[2] Adult patients with diabetes mellitus might bear higher risk of airway compromise and patients who required airway support tend to have higher admission serum glucose level.[2] We report a case of AE in an adult with diabetes mellitus, who developed sudden airway obstruction, and resulting in sudden cardiac arrest after failed tracheal intubation.
