Iatrogenic Tracheal Rupture Related to Prehospital Emergency Intubation in Adults: A 15-Year Single Center Experience.

Iatrogenic tracheal rupture due to prehospital emergency intubation is a rare complication.

Treatment options depend on individual patient condition, whereas outcome largely depends on the underlying disease and rupture extension.
