Percutaneous tracheostomy is a safe and cost-effective airway management technique for intensive care patients. It offers favorable outcomes compared to surgical tracheostomy, making it a preferred choice in many ICUs.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Critical Care
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is essential for airway management in intensive care patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
  • Conventional surgical tracheostomy has potential complications and risks.
  • Percutaneous techniques have emerged as an alternative to surgical tracheostomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare various percutaneous tracheostomy techniques.
  • To assess the safety, efficacy, indications, contraindications, and complications of percutaneous tracheostomy.
  • To evaluate percutaneous tracheostomy against conventional surgical tracheostomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Medline and MD Consult databases.
  • Analysis of early and current percutaneous tracheostomy techniques, including Ciaglia, Griggs, Fantoni, and PercuTwist kits.

  • Comparison of percutaneous tracheostomy with open surgical tracheostomy.

    • Main Results:

    • Early percutaneous tracheostomy techniques (Sheldon, Toye, Schachner) are largely abandoned due to high complication rates.
    • Ciaglia and Griggs kits are the most frequently used percutaneous tracheostomy devices.
    • Percutaneous tracheostomy is demonstrated to be safe, cost-effective, and comparable to surgical tracheostomy, with many ICUs adopting it as the preferred method.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous tracheostomy is a safe and effective alternative to surgical tracheostomy for intensive care patients.
    • While effective, percutaneous tracheostomy requires a learning curve, careful patient selection, and meticulous technique.
    • The adoption of percutaneous tracheostomy in ICUs highlights its favorable profile and growing acceptance.
