Talk:Tracheobronchial injury

Mechanism
This article indicates five possible mechanisms. Although admittedly the article is rather old (1983). Axl (talk) 11:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually Shields' General Thoracic Surgery, sixth edition (2005) indicates three mechanisms, very similar to those currently described in the article. Axl (talk) 17:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I have seen the crushing mechanism mentioned, and gave it a brief mention in the article (the dashboard thing). In every review I've read that mentions mechanisms, the three are presented together as the "big three", being responsible for most TBIs, although other types (e.g. penetrating, crushing against the vertebrae) are sometimes mentioned too.  This is the first mention I've seen of a torsion mechanism.   delldot   talk  02:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Prevention
I'm having difficulty finding reliable sources to describe preventive measures. I'll keep looking. Axl (talk) 20:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks a ton Axl, I will too.  delldot   talk  02:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Diagram
It looks suspiciously like the picture on the Encyclopedia of Science.... Axl ¤  [Talk]  10:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * (Actually the secondary bronchus is not correctly labelled. It is pointing to the right bronchus intermedius.) Axl  ¤  [Talk]  10:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hm, in that case I'll leave this one out for now. If it was an svg I could fix it but I don't really know how to do it cleanly with a jpg.   delldot   &nabla;.  19:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Would a link to the main anatomy article or at least using the image be in order for the anatomy section?

 * Thank you for pointing out this image. I have added it to the article. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  09:56, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Lead image
This image needs some arrows draw on it to make it more descriptive. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:23, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. delldot   &nabla;.  20:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * And what does the star indicate? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 21:10, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * According to the caption in the article it came from, "partial visualization of segmental branches of the right-lower-lobe bronchus (*)." I guess I should black out the star and upload a new version.   delldot   &nabla;.  21:56, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Locations of TBI


This picture, in the "Classification" section, is referenced to Riley et al., "Injury to the esophagus, trachea and bronchus", pages 544–547. I would like to know the anatomical names of where the labels are going; I suspect that the lower ones are incorrectly placed. Axl ¤  [Talk]  09:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

In the absence of any other comments, I have removed the picture from the article. Axl ¤  [Talk]  08:27, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
