    Summary

    Cricothyrotomy is a safe and resource-efficient alternative to tracheotomy in intensive care units (ICU). However, this procedure may lead to a higher incidence of voice changes in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Tracheotomy is a common procedure for airway management in intensive care units (ICUs).
    • Alternative airway management techniques are sought to reduce procedure-related complications and resource utilization.
    • Cricothyrotomy offers a potential alternative to tracheotomy in specific patient populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and resource implications of cricothyrotomy as an alternative to tracheotomy in ICU patients.
    • To assess the frequency of voice changes following cricothyrotomy compared to tracheotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 105 cricothyrotomy procedures performed as an alternative to tracheotomy in ICU patients at Danderyd Hospital.
    • Data collection focused on procedural ease, complication rates, resource requirements, and incidence of voice alterations.

    Main Results:

    • Cricothyrotomy was found to be technically straightforward to perform.
    • The procedure demonstrated a favorable risk profile and efficient resource utilization.
    • A significant frequency of post-procedural voice changes was observed in the patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Cricothyrotomy presents a viable, safe, and resource-conscious alternative to tracheotomy in the ICU setting.
    • Healthcare providers should counsel patients on the potential risk of voice alterations following cricothyrotomy.
