CASE REPORT: The patient was a 34-year-old man diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and quadriplegia, who has had a tracheostomy tube for 7 years, who referred with complaint of shortness of breath following a tracheostomy tube fracture. The patient had 60% saturation and significant respiratory distress. After confirming the fracture of the tracheostomy tube with a CT scan of the lung, the fractured fragment was removed with rigid bronchoscopy and the tracheostomy tube was re-inserted for the patient. The patient was discharged from the hospital two days after tracheostomy. CONCLUSION: In case of shortness of breath and decreased saturation, tracheostomy tube fracture should be considered. Proper cleaning and planned replacement of the tracheostomy tube may prevent this complication.K AminiM Vakili OgharoodM DavariS ErshadifardH AsadiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticletracheostomyairwayforeign body.MedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 23, Iss 1, Pp 393-397 (2021)
