Summary
A new model for Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) training has been developed. This comprehensive PDT model, validated by experts, aims to improve skills acquisition and patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Procedures
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Deconstructing complex procedures enhances skills learning.
- Existing Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) models lack comprehensive procedural aspects.
- Technique heterogeneity in PDT may impede trainee competency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) model for procedural training.
- To create a step-by-step design for PDT procedural training.
Main Methods:
- Structured search of medical databases for procedural descriptions.
- Extraction of activities and analysis of adherence to McKinley's dimensions of procedural competence.
- Validation of the developed PDT model through a Delphi-based consensus of international experts.
Main Results:
- Analysis of 14 descriptions revealed a median of 18 steps covering 3 of McKinley's dimensions.
- A Delphi panel of 25 experts from nine countries validated the model.
- The final model comprises 59 activities across six stages, involving two operators (bronchoscopy and tracheostomy).
Conclusions:
- A complete PDT model incorporating necessary competence dimensions has been presented.
- Expert consensus validated the model, enhancing procedural training.
- The model aims to promote safer patient care through improved training.

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.

Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

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.

01:28Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes
2.1K
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...

Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
