ABSTRACT

Nowadays most Mayor Hospitals have an Intense Care Unit (ICU) in which they have patients with long period intubation, before taking the decision to practice a tracheostomy. With this approach a whole spectrum of airway pathologies related with intubation have emerged. The intubation is a rutinary procedure to maintain airway permeable, and although is a way to save life it is not free of complications. There is a common denominator in patients with complications: translaryngeal intubation, either nasotracheal or orotracheal. Therefore this patients should be monitored periodically and the healthcare personal should be correctly trained to prevent this lesions.
