Real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: a feasibility study

INTRODUCTION Ultrasound (US) performed prior to percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) may be useful in avoiding injury to pretracheal vascular structures and in avoiding high placement of the tube. Bedside real-time US guidance with visualization of needle path is routinely utilized for other procedures such as central venous catheterization, and may enhance the safety and accuracy of PT without causi...

Real-time ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy with and without bronchoscopic control: an observational study.

BACKGROUND Real-time ultrasound guidance may enable precise introducer needle and guidewire insertion during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT). However, the safety of PDT done solely under ultrasound guidance has not been compared to additional bronchoscopic confirmation. We aimed to compare the efficacy, incidence of complications and procedural times of real-time ultrasound guided ...

Modified technique of realtime ultrasound guided percutaneous balloon dilatational tracheostomy through laryngeal mask airway insertion

Background The technique of bedside percutaneous tracheostomy (BPT) has become a routine procedure in the ICU. As a common standard, a bronchoscope is used during the BPT in order to assess the upper airway anatomy and to assist guiding the needle while penetrating the tracheal inter-ring space into the correct central positioning. However, using the bronchoscope during the puncture of the trac...
