Summary

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a common bedside alternative to surgical tracheostomy in intensive care unit patients. Intracranial pressure measurement is a vital parameter that should be monitored when performing any procedure including PDT in these patients. During PDT, changes in intracranial pressure may occur depending on the position applied, hypercarbia and hypertension that may develop during the procedure. However, the effect of PDT procedure on intracranial pressure is controversial. It is imperative to ascertain the impact of PDT on intracranial pressure, along with the factors that influence its fluctuations during the procedure. This is of particular significance in order to avert the occurrence of deleterious conditions that may be engendered by elevated intracranial pressure. The aim of current study was to evaluate the effect of PDT procedure on intracranial pressure.
