Comparing fiberoptic bronchoscopy and a tracheal tube-mounted camera-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: authors' reply
We thank Xue et al. for their comments [1] regarding our article on the peri-interventional visualization of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) [2]. The authors noted that we did not provide diameters for the endotracheal tubes used in the bronchoscopy group. The endotracheal tubes had an inner diameter of 7.5 mm for female and 8.0 or 8.5 mm for male patients. Therefore, the differenc...
متن کاملThe Use of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy During Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy With Laryngeal Mask
UNLABELLED The aim of our research is to evaluate the advantage by the combined use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and laryngeal mask during the performance of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in an intensive care unit. PATIENTS 16 adult patients who were candidates to middle-long term mechanical ventilation. ENVIRONMENT Intensive Care Unit of a Community General Hospital. RESULTS We ex...
متن کاملRigid bronchoscopy-guided percutaneous tracheostomy.
We describe a case series of seven patients that demonstrates the usefulness of rigid bronchoscopy in percutaneous tracheostomy. The technique was used in selected patients who had a previous tracheostomy, a difficult airway, high risk of bleeding, or a tracheal stent in place.
متن کاملBronchoscopy versus an endotracheal tube mounted camera for the peri-interventional visualization of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy - a prospective, randomized trial (VivaPDT)
BACKGROUND Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in critically ill patients often involves bronchoscopic optical guidance. However, this procedure is not without disadvantages. Therefore, we aimed to study a recently introduced endotracheal tube-mounted camera (VivaSightTM-SL tube [VST]; ETView, Misgav, Israel) for guiding PDT. METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial involving 4...
متن کاملTracheal ring fracture and early tracheomalacia following percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy
BACKGROUND Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is increasingly popular within intensive care units for patients who need prolonged ventilatory support. Significant complications are rare. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient suffered tracheal ring fracture and early tracheomalacia following this procedure. These complications are demonstrated in our accompanying video. CONCLUSION Contrary...
