Abstract
Fluid extravasation in shoulder arthroscopy may lead to life-threatening consequences, such as airway compromise. These cases are rare and few were reported in the literature. Clinical cases of 2 female patients submitted to shoulder arthroscopy for a rotator cuff tear repair, complicated with fluid extravasation that led to trachea compression and need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission with postponed extubation. Neither patients showed any sequelae in the follow-up period. Report of these rare complications, with detailed and reproducible information, is vital for their comprehension and future elaboration of surveillance and treatment guidelines.
