Summary

Description of a technical modification of percutaneous tracheostomy that involves a safety method for confirming the intratracheal location of the needle at the time of puncture, with preventing serious complications such as false passage or damage to the posterior tracheal wall, without coadjuvant technique

Conditions

  • Tracheostomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous tracheostomy

Guidewire dilating forceps (Grigges') technique was the method which has been applied during our work. Proper positioning: patient's neck was extended as much as possible by placing a rolled towel between the shoulder blades, the patient's neck and the bed were maintained in neutral position. The operative site was sterilized before draping with 10% povidone iodine solution. Lidocaine 2% was used as local anesthetic prior to beginning the intervention. Transverse (1 cm) skin incision was made midway between the cricoid cartilage and the suprasternal notch, i.e., opposite the 2nd - 3rd or 3rd - 4th tracheal rings. Blunt dissection of subcutaneous fat and pre-tracheal tissue with mosquito clamp in a vertical direction was done till the tracheal rings were palpable.
