Zusammenfassung

Die perkutane Dilatationstracheotomie gehört zu den Standardeingriffen auf Intensivstationen. Obwohl Komplikationen im Zusammenhang mit diesem Eingriff beschrieben sind, stellt eine akute Blutung aus dem Truncus brachiocephalicus eine Rarität dar und bedingt eine unmittelbare Intervention. Wir berichten über eine akute Blutung nach Entfernung der Tracheotomiekanüle.

We report a case with acute bleeding after removal of a percutaneous tracheotomy cannula.
