Infection that progresses to deep areas of the
neck requires appropriate assessment of the
airway, and securing of the
airway is critical in
patients with deep
neck infection. In the
patient in our case
report, bilateral
pneumothorax occurred while performing
tracheostomy to the airways of a
patient with deep
neck infection, and therefore, this
paper details the
method used to secure the
airway of
patients with deep
neck infection.
