The role of ultrasound in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy
Background: The use of ultrasound to evaluate cervical anatomy and to guide tracheal puncture in real-time has been advocated to improve safety and efficacy of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in intensive care. Objective: To review the potential role, attributed theoretical benefits and supporting literature for ultrasound during PDT. Results: A significant number of mostly observa...

متن کاملPercutaneous dilatational tracheostomy techniques
As the number of critically ill patients requiring tracheotomy for prolonged ventilation has increased, the demand for a procedural alternative to the surgical tracheostomy (ST) has also emerged. Since its introduction, percutaneous dilatational tracheostomies (PDT) have gained increasing popularity.

متن کاملPercutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy
For decades, the standard technique for tracheostomy was the open, surgical technique. However, during the past 20 years, the use of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy has been increased and shown to be a feasible and safe procedure in critically ill patients. The purpose of this report is to review the percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy technique, describe the role of bronchoscopy as g...
متن کاملReal-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...
