RESUMEN
La ruptura bronquial es una condición rara y grave, secundaria a un traumatismo severo del tórax. Presenta una alta morbimortalidad y la mayoría de las veces requiere resolución quirúrgica. Presentamos un caso que, no habiendo sido diagnosticado inicialmente como tal, padeció complicaciones que dilataron el tratamiento correspondiente. Se realizó la colocación de stent endobronquial y sucesivas fibrobroncoscopías de control y aspiración, además de kinesia respiratoria y drenaje postural, evolucionando favorablemente.
ABSTRACT
The bronchial rupture is a rare and serious condition, secondary to a severe thoracic trauma. It often requires surgical treatment and the case fatality is high. In the case presented here the treatment was delayed because of late diagnosis and complications. The therapeutic measures included endobronchial stenting, successive control and aspiration fiberbronchoscopies, kinetic respiratory assistance and postural drainage. The evolution was favorable.
