Fracture of tracheostomy tube is a rare complication. We are reporting a unique case of a broken tracheostomy tube in a patient who had recently undergone tracheostomy and was being gradually weaned in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The detached portion of tracheostomy tube was lodged within the trachea and was timely retrieved by the anesthetist. There is limited literature on such occurrences. Nearly all reports highlight this complication in chronic users with metallic tubes. Prompt bedside diagnosis and effective instantaneous management circumvented a more grave and fatal complication of serious respiratory compromise by further migration of the severed tracheostomy tube into bronchus.
