Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Infectious Disease

Background:

  • Percutaneous tracheostomy is frequently performed at the bedside in intensive care units (ICUs) for ventilator-dependent patients.
  • Clinical studies suggest it is simpler, faster, and safer than surgical tracheostomy, with a low incidence of infective complications due to snug cannula fit.
