Transtracheal oxygen delivery.
Conventional tracheostomies have been used for many years to deliver oxygen with the patient breathing spontaneously or in conjunction with positive pressure ventilators. The insertion of a transtracheal catheter specifically to deliver oxygen, however, dates only from Heimlich's studies published in 1982.' He showed that in dogs and man a normal oxygen saturation could be maintained by the del...
متن کاملTranstracheal oxygen catheters.
Over the past 20 years a variety of transtracheal catheters have been developed for long-term oxygen therapy. A modified Seldinger technique has been the standard in the past, but a more recent procedure for surgical creation of the tracheocutaneous tract presents a number of potential advantages.

متن کاملTracheal perforation. A complication associated with transtracheal oxygen therapy.
A 73-year-old woman with a transtracheal oxygen catheter in place developed sudden onset of respiratory distress and subcutaneous emphysema. Bronchoscopy revealed the presence of three posterior tracheal wall perforations and a blind pouch arising from one of the perforations. Subsequent bronchoscopies revealed complete healing of the perforations. We believe that these perforations occurred du...
متن کاملLong term continuous domiciliary oxygen therapy by transtracheal catheter.
Long term continuous oxygen therapy improves prognosis in patients with hypoxaemic chronic airflow limitation. Transtracheal delivery of oxygen permits adequate oxygenation of such patients at lower flow rates than are required for delivery by nasal cannulas, thus increasing the time for which portable oxygen cylinders can be used and improving the efficacy of domiciliary oxygen concentrators i...
