Traditionally, the procedure has been performed under bronchoscopic assistance, which may interfere with the patient's ventilation and is cumbersome. A modification was described in which the subcutaneous tissue is bluntly dissected with a hemostat down...

متن کاملModified 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...
