“…An endotracheal tube introduced through the distal end of the open wound is one method for rapid airway control [2] . A tracheotomy is recommended for all proximal injuries and a distal tracheotomy is useful for the repair of proximal lesions [6] . In this patient, we first secured the airway by rapidly inserting an endotracheal tube through the distal end of the open wound located in zone II.…”

BackgroundThe thyrohyoid membrane is located between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage. Transection of the thyrohyoid membrane can be fatal.Case presentationA 54-year-old man presented to the emergency room after attempting to commit suicide by cutting his neck. An endotracheal tube was inserted through the thyrohyoid membrane, which had been cut almost completely. After a tracheostomy, temporary wound closure was performed due to coagulopathy caused by hemorrhagic shock. Several hours later, a hyoidothyroidopexy was performed. Damage control surgery was applied to this patient's neck injury. The tracheostomy tube was removed postoperatively and he was discharged without complications.ConclusionDamage control surgery could be an option for airway injury with blood clotting problems due to massive bleeding after securing a patent airway.

“…The clinical features of laryngotracheal trauma are variable and have been reported from asymptomatic presentations to patients presenting with dyspnea, stridor and hoarseness; the latter is known as the laryngeal trauma triad 15,16 . Other symptoms such as dysphonia, neck pain, and hemoptysis have been described.…”

Damage Control of Laryngotracheal Trauma: The Golden Day

Laryngotracheal trauma is rare but potentially life-threatening as it implies a high risk of compromising airway patency. A consensus on damage control management for laryngotracheal trauma is presented in this article. Tracheal injuries require a primary repair. In the setting of massive destruction, the airway patency must be assured, local hemostasis and control measures should be performed, and definitive management must be deferred. On the other hand, management of laryngeal trauma should be conservative, primary repair should be chosen only if minimal disruption, otherwise, management should be delayed. Definitive management must be carried out, if possible, in the first 24 hours by a multidisciplinary team conformed by trauma and emergency surgery, head and neck surgery, otorhinolaryngology, and chest surgery. Conservative management is proposed as the damage control strategy in laryngotracheal trauma.

Maxillofacial injury, also called facial trauma, is a major public health problem, representing a group of injuries in which there is an external force that traumatically injures the face. They comprise hard tissue as well as soft tissue injuries that exhibit different patterns of clinical features based on the severity and mechanism of the trauma. Traumatic maxillofacial injuries not only are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Queensland, Australia, but also have negative effects on quality of life, functional status, and social functioning. Further, they have a range of economic impacts, including on health care costs, employability, productivity, and insurability. Thus, control, minimization, and prevention of traumatic maxillofacial injuries have immediate health effectiveness, and considerable economic benefits.
