PDT uses a blind route of tracheal access that ...

متن کاملPercutaneous Tracheostomy without Bronchoscopy a Safe Procedure
Tracheostomy is a common procedure in ICU, particularly as an approach for weaning from mechanical ventilation. In mid-1980s percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) was introduced as a less invasive alternative for the standard surgical tracheostomy. A tracheostomy facilitates weaning from mechanical ventilation, in long-term ventilated patients, by improving airway cleaning, better patient comfort and...

Figure 1 shows left (channel 1) and right (channel 2) perioperative cerebral sa...
