Abstract
Localized subcutaneous emphysema is a recognized complication of transtracheal oxygen catheters. It usually occurs in the immediate postoperative period or in association with catheter tip migration. This is a case of rapidly progressive, extensive subcutaneous emphysema apparently resulting from paroxysms of coughing in a patient with a normally functioning implanted intratracheal oxygen catheter several weeks after placement.
