Injuries caused by endotracheal intubation
Clinical signs
  • superficial ulceration around the nose and mouth
  • perforation or tears of the upper airways secondary to difficult endotracheal intubation
  • focal ulcerations of the larynx, mostly superficial, heal without significant scarring
  • sqamous metaplasia of the tracheal mucosa interferes later with mucus clearance and predisposes to infection
