Percutaneous tracheostomy, a less invasive procedure, demonstrated a low complication rate in our ICU experience. This technique effectively reduced the need for mechanical ventilation support in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Percutaneous tracheostomy offers a less invasive alternative to conventional surgical tracheostomy.
  • Implementation of percutaneous tracheostomy in a 19-bed intensive care unit (ICU) setting.
  • Review of 115 procedures performed between 2001 and 2003.

Purpose:

  • To review the experience and outcomes of percutaneous tracheostomy performed at the bedside in an ICU.
  • To evaluate the complication rates and impact on ventilatory support.
  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of percutaneous tracheostomy.

Summary:

  • A retrospective observational study analyzed 115 percutaneous tracheostomies in ICU patients (median age 65).
  • Indications included prolonged mechanical ventilation (52 patients) and coma (28 patients).

  • Serious complications occurred in 4% of patients, primarily fistulae in those with bedside procedures; ventilatory support decreased post-procedure.

    • Impact:

    • Percutaneous tracheostomy is an adequate ICU bedside procedure with a low complication rate.
    • The technique facilitates a reduction in the level of mechanical ventilation support required.
    • Findings support percutaneous tracheostomy as a valuable intervention in intensive care settings.
