Resumo: Endotracheal intubation is an essential skill. Videolaryngoscopy has gained popularity as an alternative intubation device,becoming a rescue tool in difficult airway intubation protocols and often considered as the first approach during COVID-19 pandemic due the increased first attempt intubation success rates. However, the loss of depth perception and the shift of the focus from the patient to the video monitor can lead to an orofaringeal blind introduction of the endotracheal tube resulting in minor to severe injuries. We report a case of a patient with a severe tonsilar pillar cleft that passed unnoticed, that required palatoplasty and tracheostomy.

A popularidade da videolaringoscopia tem vindo a aumentar, sendo considerado uma alternativa na abordagem da via aérea difícil e a primeira linha durante a pandemia a SARS-CoV-2 pela elevada taxa de sucesso de entubação à primeira tentativa. Contudo, a perda de perceção tridimensional e o desvio da atenção para o monitor leva à introdução cega do tubo orotraqueal, aumentando o risco de lesões. Apresentamos um caso clínico de uma doente com uma lesão iatrogénica do pilar amigdalino que exigiu palatoplastia e traqueostomia.  Sociedade Portuguesa de Anestesiologia2023-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25751/rspa.25924eng0871-6099, Denise de Noronhainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-01-11T05:03:13Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/25924Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:30:04.571974Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
