摘要：

Iatrogenic laryngotracheal injury is the most serious complication of endotracheal intubation since this method of establishing airway was first described by Eugene Bouchut in 1858. Even today, subglottic stenosis is the most dreaded complication of intubation. This animal study is focused on the host tissue response to intubation induced injury resulting in subglottic stenosis and methods to prevent this complication. To assess the role of topically applied Mitomycin-C and Triamcinolone Acetonide in wound healing process following post-extubation subglottic injury. Prospective Randomized block, single-blinded, experimental study. Forty New-Zealand white rabbits where block randomized and allocated into 4 groups based on the type of topical medication that was applied post-extubation. Further these groups where subdivided into 3 subgroups based on the time of sacrifice (4, 6 and 12 weeks) to study the histopathological changes that occurred in a temporal sequence at the subglottis. It was observed that the rabbits in the control group and those that received Mitomycin-C only had more respiratory distress compared to those treated with Triamcinolone Acetonide. Statistically significant histopathological changes were observed in all the 4 groups. Mitomycin-C applied topically did not alter the wound healing process following post-extubation injury in the subglottis. Triamcinolone Acetonide significantly altered wound healing in the subglottis and prevented occurrence of respiratory distress. © 2017, Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
