Area of Science:

  • Medical Procedures
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is essential for airway management in critically ill patients.
  • Conventional tracheotomy can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
  • A need exists for efficient and safe tracheostomy methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy (PDT) as a safe and efficient method for elective tracheostomy.
  • To highlight the advantages of PDT in critical care settings.

Main Methods:

  • PDT is a bedside procedure performed by experienced surgeons.
  • The technique involves controlled dilation for airway access.

Main Results:
