On the other hand, tracheostomy has some life-threatening complications. In here, we presented that an interesting case of a tracheaesophageal fistula, rare complication of surgical tracheostomy, caused by posterior tracheal membrane laceration than has progressed to form a single passage. This passage progressively led both air trapping in gastrointestinal tract due to required mechanical ventilatory support and reflux of gastrointestinal content into tracheobronchial tree. Conventional measures were not beneficial, nor immediate surgical repair was feasible due to unstable condition of the patient. Then, a Sengstaken???Blackmore tube was introduced and overwhelmed the condition.en10.14744/tjtes.2020.36155info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSengstaken-Blackmore TubeTracheal LacerationTracheoesophageal FistulaTracheostomyTracheoesophageal FistulaTracheostomyTracheotomyManagementArticle28710271030Q4WOS:0008266016000202-s2.0-8513324987535775668Q21136200
