Collaborative percutaneous tracheostomy (PercTrach) leverages subspecialty expertise for efficient and safe procedures. This approach combines pulmonary medicine/critical care (PCC) guidance with otolaryngology techniques, offering significant benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary medical procedures
  • Surgical innovation in airway management

Background:

  • Percutaneous tracheostomy (PercTrach) is a common procedure.
  • Collaboration between specialties can optimize patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present experience with a collaborative PercTrach model.
  • To validate the concept of using subspecialty expertise in PercTrach.

Main Methods:

  • One hundred consecutive PercTrachs were performed.
  • Pulmonary medicine/critical care (PCC) provided bronchoscopic guidance.
  • Otolaryngology performed the PercTrach using the Blue Rhino introducer set.

Main Results:

  • Mean procedural time was 12.9 minutes.

  • The youngest patient was 5 years old and the oldest was 37.
  • One complication (bleeding requiring intervention) occurred in 100 procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Collaborative PercTrach capitalizes on otolaryngology and PCC expertise.
    • This model conserves operating room time.
    • It enables rapid, safe tracheostomy establishment and offers educational benefits.
