Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) offers an easier, bedside method for inserting breathing tubes. This technique shows advantages over traditional surgical tracheostomy, marking its first report in Ireland.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Procedures
  • Otolaryngology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) is an established bedside procedure for airway management.
  • The adoption of PCT varies globally.
  • Surgical tracheostomy remains a conventional method for creating a tracheal opening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first instance of implementing a percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) method in Ireland.
  • To highlight the potential benefits of the PCT technique compared to surgical tracheostomy.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) technique.
  • Bedside insertion of a tracheostomy tube using the percutaneous approach.

Main Results:
