Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Respiratory Therapy

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is essential for intensive care unit (ICU) patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
  • Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) offers an alternative to traditional surgical methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Griggs technique for percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) in an ICU setting.
  • To record procedure time and early complications associated with PCT.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-two patients undergoing elective percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) using the Portex Percutaneous Tracheostomy Kit (Griggs technique) were studied.
  • Procedure time and early complications were meticulously recorded at the bedside.

Main Results:

  • The PCT procedure was successful in all 72 patients, with an average placement time of 7.4 minutes.
  • No procedure-related deaths occurred. Major bleeding requiring surgical intervention was observed in 3 patients; minor bleeding and wound infections occurred in 2 patients each.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) using the Griggs technique is a simple, quick, and safe procedure for ICU patients.
  • PCT is a feasible and effective alternative to surgical tracheostomy in the intensive care setting.
