Percutaneous Tracheotomy in Emergency Situation Setting
نویسندگان
چکیده
While Percutaneous Tracheotomy (PT) has become a standard procedure to ensure airway patency in elective indications, it is not yet accepted as standard for the management of emergency airway situations, despite more and more reports highlighting its use in this setting. After comparing PT with other emergency airway access techniques, we report a new approach performed under general anesthesia for the management of patients with major airway obstruction leading to « no ventilation, no intubation » situations.

UNLABELLED We report a case of a 59-year-old male who experienced tracheoesophageal fistula and grade IV subglottic stenosis after percutaneous dilation tracheotomy. Although percutaneous tracheotomy is considered a safe procedure that is often performed in the intensive care unit setting, it is not without complications. While subglottic stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula are known complic...

OBJECTIVE The timing of tracheotomy in patients requiring mechanical ventilation is unknown. The effects of early percutaneous dilational tracheotomy compared with delayed tracheotomy in critically ill medical patients needing prolonged mechanical ventilation were assessed.

Although the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is very high, there are still many uncertainties about clinical course of VAP among tracheotomized patients. The goal of the present study was to determine the impact of tracheotomy on VAP incidence and etiology, as well as outcome of VAP patients with tracheotomy. The study was conducted in a 15-bed Surgical and Neurosurgical Inte...

متن کاملFantoni's translaryngeal tracheotomy complications. Personal experience.
Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure which, in conditions of acute respiratory emergency, guarantees an adequate airway through the trachea whereas, in cases of chronic respiratory failure, it is used to improve ventilation through the reduction of the dead respiratory space. Over the last few years, surgical techniques used in tracheotomy have been considerably modified, not only to respond to ...
