As a result of chronic inflammation, manifest ed by the loss of the architecture of the normal structures of the tracheal wall with fibrous tissue, the function and narrowing of the airways is observed. Expanding the volume of surgical interventions in patients with pathologies of the heart, brain, and abdominal or gans increases the number of intubations, and then the occurrence of postintubation ste nosis increases. Most patients with stenosis are admitted to surgical hospitals of thoracic clinics in critical condition due to respiratory failure, they require urgent care.
