Abstract
Stenosis of the larynx and trachea is an unfortunate sequel to many thermal injuries. Numerous surgical techniques have been developed for correction of such problems, many involving use of a tracheal T-tube. We report a serious complication attributed to the use of such a tube. Factors contributing to this complication are analyzed and methods for avoiding similar near-catastrophes discussed.
