Intraoperative airway management for patients with tracheal tumors: A case series of 37 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tracheal tumors are rare. The aim of this case series was to investigate airway selection during radical surgery for patients with tracheal tumors.

Methods

Here, we performed a retrospective case review of patients with tracheal tumors who underwent tracheal surgery in our center. A total of 37 cases, including 26 patients with primary tracheal tumors and 11 cases with advanced thyroid cancer, were enrolled into the study. Baseline characteristics and differential prognosis of included patients were estimated. We summarize the strategies for intraoperative airway selection and analyze the risk factors associated with delayed extubation.

Results

There is a trend for primary tracheal tumors to appear toward the upper (9 of 26) and middle third (9 of 26) of th
