Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Post-intubation tracheal laceration is a complication with a low incidence, but due to its clinical relevance and high mortality risk, it must be suspected in cases of endotracheal intubation. Case presentation: A 74-year-old woman with a history of high blood pressure and mitral and tricuspid insufficiency underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in a tertiary care hospital in Zaragoza, Spain, a procedure in which a C-MAC® videolaryngoscope was used to perform the intubation. The patient, 20 minutes after extubation, presented hemoptysis, dyspnea and a decrease in oxygen saturation, so a fibrobronchoscopy was performed and a 1.5 cm bleeding tracheal laceration was observed. Intravenous antibiotic treatment was started, and chest X-ray and computed axial tomography ruled out serious complications such as pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, or tracheal rupture. During the observation period, the patient had a normal blood oxygen level and remained hemodynamically stable. She was discharged after 72 hours. Conclusions: Since tracheal lacerations are associated with high mortality rates, a high index of clinical suspicion is required, particularly in patients with risk factors for this type of injury in difficult intubation cases, in order to avoid the delay of timely diagnostic and therapeutic measures, thus decreasing possible complications and improving prognosis. Furthermore, these injuries require individualized treatment by a multidisciplinary team.
