Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum complicating endotracheal intubation--a case report
Afr J Med Med Sci.

Abstract
A case is reported of a 5-month-old child who developed subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum following the application of external pressure on the trachea during intubation using a non-kinkable tube with a stylet in situ. Possible aetiological factors and management of such a condition are discussed.
