Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Respiratory Support

Background:

  • Elective tracheostomy is frequently performed in intensive care units (ICUs).
  • Patients requiring assisted ventilation for over one to two weeks are candidates.
  • Established conventional tracheostomy techniques exist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) techniques.
  • To evaluate PDT as a bedside procedure.
  • To compare PDT with conventional tracheostomy methods.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous dilatational techniques for tracheostomy.
  • Bedside performance of the procedure.
  • Comparison with conventional tracheostomy approaches.

  • PDT is a viable alternative to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is an effective bedside procedure.
  • PDT offers advantages over conventional tracheostomy techniques.
  • This method is suitable for ICU patients requiring prolonged ventilation.
