The use of surgical sealant to repair intubation-related tracheal injury.

This case study describes the management of a tracheal injury following emergency intubation in a 56-year-old man. After collapsing from heavy alcohol ingestion, intubation was performed using a bougie, leading to a punctate tracheal wound. Initial conservative treatment with antibiotics was followed by bronchoscopy, revealing a tracheal laceration.
