Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

2.6K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

894
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

1.1K
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

1.0K
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

1.3K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Summary

This study on tracheostomy in tertiary care found prolonged ventilation for poisoning and snake bites as primary indications. While complication rates were low (11.5%), tubal occlusion was most frequent, with no procedure-related deaths.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is a crucial procedure for airway management.
  • Modern surgical techniques aim to minimize tracheostomy complications.
  • Understanding current indications and complication rates is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the indications for tracheostomy in the modern era.
  • To determine the complication rate and types following tracheostomy.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of refined surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 240 patients undergoing tracheostomy.
  • Data collected from January 2013 to April 2017.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, indications, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Most common indications: prolonged ventilation for Organophosphorus poisoning and snake bites.
  • Overall complication rate: 11.5%.
  • Most frequent complications: tubal occlusion (7.5%), granulations (2.5%), tracheal stenosis (1.25%), tracheoesophageal fistula (0.4%). No procedure-related deaths.

Conclusions:

  • Tracheostomy morbidity and mortality are significantly reduced with modern techniques.
  • Refined surgical techniques, appropriate tube selection, and post-operative care minimize complications.
  • Tracheomalacia and tracheal stenosis require further attention and improvement.
