Overview

Retrospective review identifies laryngeal injuries post-intubation in adults, highlighting clinical implications.

Key Points

  • This study aims to examine the incidence and clinical features of post-intubation laryngeal injuries.
  • Conducted a retrospective review of adult patients who underwent tracheal intubation for surgery from May 1, 2018, to December 31, 2024.
  • Excluded patients who underwent specific surgeries: cardiothoracic, thyroid, parathyroid, or anterior cervical spine procedures.
  • Reviewed patient demographics, intubation characteristics, treatments, and clinical outcomes.
  • Out of 267,824 patients, 30 developed postoperative laryngeal injury (6.6/100,000; 95% CI 4.5–9.4) requiring laryngology evaluation.
  • Among 30 cases, 22 (67%) had defined movement abnormalities in their vocal cords.
  • Follow-up indicated 15 (72%) showed partial improvement but no cases achieved complete resolution.
