摘要

Foreign bodies of the airway are a crisis that need immediate intervention. Such crises can also occur from important life-saving surgeries like tracheostomies. Tracheostomy tubes when not properly taken care of or on prolonged usage may lead to damage and dislodgement into the trachea and bronchus. Here we present such a case; where the tracheostomy tube broke and got dislodged into the trachea. An early intervention and removal of the tube was done for the patient. We also present here a protocol for the management of such cases in the future.
