A Case of Bronchial Stenosis due to Endotrcheal Suction

Abstract

We experienced a case of acquired bronchial stenosis in a male premature infant who had recurrent postextubation atelectasis of the right lung. Bronchography showed the stenosis of the distal portion of right main bronchus and the proximal portion of intermediate bronchus and autopsy findings showed ill-defined irregularly elevated nodule with fibrotic scarring in the trifurcation of right main bronchus. Endotracheal suction was suspected as the main cause. A brief review of literature was made.
