AB Tracheobronchial  injuries  are  rare  but  potentially  lethal  injuries  associated  with  (1)  thoracic  trauma,  (2)  iatrogenic  damage,  and  (3)  inhalation  injuries.1  Most  traumatic  tracheobronchial  injuries  are  associated  with  a  high-energy  impact;  typically,  a  motor  vehicle  accident  or  fall.  These  injuries  often  are  associated  with  significant  thoracic  compression  injuries  including  fractures  to  the  ribs  and  clavicle  as  well  as  cardiac  and  pulmonary  contusions.
