Abstract
A patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring prolonged tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation is described. Tracheal dilation was noted to have occurred following an elective surgical tracheostomy. Eventually, the patient was successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation and the tracheostomy tube removed.
