Tracheocarotid fistula secondary to laryngeal carcinoma presenting as massive hemoptysis.
Tracheovascular fistulas are not traditionally included in the differential diagnosis of massive hemoptysis. We report the first such case due to a tracheocarotid fistula produced by occult subglottic laryngeal cancer. Also described is the unusual role the cuffed endotracheal tube played in obscuring the diagnosis and palliating the hemorrhage.

Transport of critically ill patients.
Critically ill patients are transported within and between hospitals on a regular basis; thus, transport of the critically ill is a component of most intensivists-practice. The motivation for these transports lies in obtaining diagnostic or therapeutic services not available at the bedside (intrahospital transport) or not available in the sending institution (interhospital transport). Deterioration in respiratory, cardiovascular, and other physiological systems is a potential complication of any patient transport. Using appropriate equipment and personnel and planning for each transport can minimize these complications and ensure optimal benefit to the patient.
