Technique training: endoscopic percutaneous tracheostomy.
Percutaneous tracheostomy is being used increasingly in the intensive care unit and endoscopic control of this procedure affords an improved level of safety. Training in such new minimal access techniques can be a significant risk factor in patient outcome. Surgical simulation provides training which minimizes this risk. We present a method of training in percutaneous endoscopic tracheostomy us...
متن کاملPercutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy via Griggs Technique.
BACKGROUND Tracheostomy is considered the airway management of choice for patients who need prolonged mechanical ventilation support. Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheotomy (PDT) is a technique that can be performed easily and rapidly at bedside and is particularly useful in the intensive care setting. The Griggs percutaneous tracheotomy is unique in its utilization of a guide wire dilator force...
متن کاملPercutaneous Tracheostomy: Who is not a Candidate?
Over the past three decades there has been further modifications and improvement to the technique. A guidewire dilator forceps to create a stoma was described in 1990 [5]. Fantoni described a translaryngeal technique where stomal dilation was obtained from inside [6]. A screw like dilator is used to slowly twist and dilate the stoma in Percu-Twist technique. The Griggs, Fantoni and Percu-Twist ...
متن کاملHIF-1 regulation: not so easy come, easy go.
The hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is the master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia and its expression levels are tightly controlled through synthesis and degradation. It is widely accepted that HIF-1alpha protein accumulation during hypoxia results from inhibition of its oxygen-dependent degradation by the von Hippel Lindau protein (pVHL) pathway. However, recent data describe n...
متن کاملPercutaneous Tracheostomy
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a commonly performed procedure in critically sick patients. It can be safely performed bedside by intensivists.This has resulted in decline in the use of surgical tracheostomy in intensive care unit (ICU) except in few selected cases. Most common indication of tracheostomy in ICU is need for prolonged ventilation. About 10% of patients requiring a...
