High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tracheobronchial injury (TBI) is damage to the tracheobronchial tree (the structure of airways involving the trachea and bronchi). It can result from blunt or penetrating neck or chest trauma. The airways may also be injured by inhaling harmful fumes, or aspirating liquids or objects. Though rare, TBI is potentially fatal. TBI can cause the airway to be blocked and can restrict breathing. Other injuries accompany TBI in about half of cases. Most people with the injury who die do so before receiving emergency care, due to other injuries to vital organs, profuse bleeding, or airway obstruction. Of those who do reach a hospital, the mortality rate may be as high as 30%. The injury is frequently difficult to diagnose and treat. Early diagnosis is important to prevent complications, which include narrowing of the airway, respiratory infections, and damage to the lung tissue. Diagnosis involves bronchoscopy to visualize the airways, and X-ray can be used as well.
