ABSTRACT
We report a case of pneumothorax and abdominal free air after percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT). A 80-year-old female was intubation for upper respiratory stenosis. We thought tracheal stenosis recurrence after extubation. PCT was performed. Respiratory insufficiency and subcutaneous emphysema appeared rapidly at face, neck and precordia Subcutaneous emphysema was pushed away. PCT was performed once more. Chest X-ray showed pneumothorax in right thoracic cavity. Thoracostomy tube was intubation. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed pneumothorax another thoracic cavity and abdominal free air. Vital signs was not worse, so observation. Postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was recovered. We thought that PCT was effective under bronchofiber.
