MARTINEZ-MOLINA, Alejandra; LOPEZ-CABRERA, Norma Guadalupe; PALACIOS-RIOS, Dionisio and ALVARADO-GAMBOA, Sugey. Anesthesia in a case of tracheal stenosis sequelae of COVID-19, to a tracheoplasty procedure. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.2, pp.133-136. Epub Aug 28, 2023.

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic is a predominantly respiratory disease that has affected worldwide and has left more than 151 million cases, which usually require mechanical ventilation management with the intention of managing the upper airways for ventilation adequate oxygenation of people with COVID-19 and that reduces the risk of contagion for medical personnel.
Objective:
To describe the anesthetic approach for the induction and maintenance of a tracheoplasty derived from tracheal stenosis secondary to COVID-19.
Material and methods:
The description of a case and the guidelines that have been given for the management of tracheal stenosis are addressed.
Conclusions:
Timely anesthetic management and installation of a laryngeal splint is appropriate for the management of tracheal stenosis secondary to the process of prolonged mechanical intubation due to COVID-19.
Keywords : COVID-19; tracheal stenosis; tracheoplasty.
