Overview

A polytraumatized patient with blunt trauma to the upper torso and comminutive femur fracture developed ventilation problems on the seventh dayof hospitalization. Endoscopic examination revealed tracheomalacia with tracheo-oesophageal phistula. The paper summarizes the subsequenttreatment, stressing the importance of multidisciplinary approach and proper timing of surgical interventions. Intensive care appropriate to the severityof disease and actual condition should be focused on optimalization of hemodynamics and markers of nutrition and immunity.
