Figure 1.
‘Minimum intensity projection’ in sagittal plain. The entire tracheal route is visualised, showing a disruption of 5 cm of the middle tracheal third at the level of the cervicothoracic junction. The distal end of the endotracheal tube is located anterior to the trachea (white arrow). The red arrow shows the postdisruption tracheal end. There is abundant subcutaneous emphysema that dissects all the cervicothoracic spaces, continuing to the anterior and middle mediastinum.
