Abstract
Persistent minor hemoptysis resulted from extensive granulation tissue on t he main carina and adjacent bronchi due to frequent spraying of metered-dos e inhaler (MDI)-generated aerosol medications directly into a permanent tra cheostomy. Salbutamol, containing oleic acid, was considered the most likel y cause. After an AeroChamber equipped with an infant mask was interposed b etween the MDI and the tracheal stoma, hemoptysis and the pathologic change s gradually resolved.
