The use of PRP involves a complex network
of molecular events which accelerate tissue regeneration
due to its richness in growth factors
plus a variety of biologic mediators. The authors have presented
their successful experience of its use in
pneumology when treating severe hemoptysis, respiratory
fistulae, spontaneous pneumothorax and
one tracheal rupture. In this article we present two cases of
post intubation tracheal rupture
successfully treated with the local instillation of PRP on one of them
and with the injection of PRP along the
lips of the tracheal wound on the other. Tracheal rupture is a
rare but life threatening complication of
emergency intubation requiring an effective response in order
to avoid the risk of patient death due to
secondary mediastinitis and sepsis. The use of local
autologous PRP in our experience has
demonstrated a favorable performance in such cases, turning
it in a highly promising tool for the
treatment of conditions such as this, in which a rapidly effective and
minimally invasive handling is required.
