Author

Murali S and Cohen RI

Abstract

A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is an abnormal communication between the bronchial tree and pleural space resulting in a high risk for morbidity and mortality. We describe a case highlighting the management of a BPF with subcutaneous and mediastinal air resulting in dysphagia and dysphonia using a technique that was first described in a 1992 CHEST article. The "Blowhole" technique may be utilized for patients that are poor surgical candidates requiring rapid correction and prevention of detrimental consequences such as pneumomediastinum, tension pneumothorax, upper airway compromise and pneumopericardium., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2023 The Authors.)
