Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: As lesões da árvore traqueobrônquica são complicações raras, porém graves após intubação ou broncoscopia. O objetivo deste relato foi chamar a atenção sobre a dificuldade de intubação seletiva que ocasionou ruptura brônquica associada a pneumomediastino e pneumotórax hipertensivo, com deformações de vias aéreas e óbito por resposta inflamatória sistêmica. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo masculino, 50 anos, portador de fístula broncopleural secundária à ruptura de bolha no lobo superior de pulmão direito. Após a indução anestésica, houve dificuldade na intubação endobrônquica esquerda. Na terceira tentativa, desenvolveu quadro de hipoxemia, hipotensão e enfisema subcutâneo extenso, sendo submetido à drenagem torácica por pneumotórax hipertensivo. A fibrobroncoscopia mostrou laceração do brônquio esquerdo. Evoluiu com hemoptise, sendo necessária toracotomia esquerda para sutura de laceração brônquica. No pós-operatório, o paciente desenvolveu quadro de disfunção de múltiplos órgãos, evoluindo para óbito. CONCLUSÕES: A intubação seletiva é um procedimento que deve ser realizado com cautela, sendo necessário o reconhecimento de alguns fatores de risco e o diagnóstico precoce das complicações.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tracheobronchial tree injuries are uncommon however severe complications after intubation or bronchoscopy. This report aimed at calling the attention to the difficult selective intubation, which has led to bronchial rupture associated to pneumomediastinum and hypertensive pneumothorax, with airway deformation and death by systemic inflammatory response. CASE REPORT: Male patient, 50 years old, with bronchopleural fistula secondary to bulla rupture in right lung upper lobe. After anesthetic induction it was difficult to intubate left bronchus. At the third attempt, patient developed hypoxemia, hypotension and extensive subcutaneous emphysema, being submitted to thoracic drainage for hypertensive pneumothorax. Fibrobronchoscopy has revealed left bronchus laceration. Patient evolved with hemoptysis, and left thoracotomy was necessary to suture bronchial laceration. Patient developed postoperative multiple organs dysfunction and evolved to death. CONCLUSIONS: Selective intubation is a procedure to be carefully performed, being necessary the understanding of some risk factors and the early diagnosis of complications.
