Zusammenfassung

Nach der Thyreoidektomie tritt nur sehr selten ein Trachealkollaps auf; wenn dies allerdings der Fall ist, verursachter eine plötzliche Luftröhrenobstruktion mit folgendem Tod des Patienten. Einen Trachealkollaps trifft man meistens nach großen Strumaoperationen an. Die bei der Operation an die Trachea angelegten Seidensuturen werden herausgezogen, wenn es durch Inspirationschwierigkeiten zum Trachealkollaps kommt. Dadurch wird die Luftröhre wieder geöffnet.

Summary

Tracheal collapse after thyroidectomy is uncommon; when it occurs, complete airway obstruction is often sudden, unexpected and fatal. It usually follows the removal of a large goiter. When the inspiration difficulty is seen because of the tracheal collapse after large goiter operations, silk tractions sutures which have been put on trachea during the operation, can be pulled to open the airway again.
