Positive-pressure ventilators work by increasing the patient's airway pressure through an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. 25. The pathogenesis of an TIF by the aforementioned method is pressure necrosis by tracheostomy tube on the tracheal wall. 26. Postoperative airway obstruction may range from mild stridor events to severe blockage of the airway resulting in intubation or tracheostomy . 27. TEF can also occur due to pressure necrosis by a tracheostomy tube in apposition to a nasogastric tube ( NGT ). 28.
