Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Tracheostomy is a common procedure for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
  • The optimal setting for performing tracheostomy, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), remains a topic of discussion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience and outcomes of tracheostomies performed within an intensive care unit setting.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of ICU-performed tracheostomies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 47 tracheostomy procedures performed over a 5-year period in an ICU.
  • Analysis of procedural outcomes, complications, and patient recovery.

Main Results:

  • Forty-seven tracheostomy operations were successfully completed in the ICU.
  • The study discusses the specific advantages and disadvantages encountered during these ICU procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Tracheostomy performed in the intensive care unit is a safe and effective procedure.
  • ICU-performed tracheostomy is recommended as an acceptable alternative to the traditional operating theatre approach.
