Tracheomegaly or tracheobronchomegaly is a rare syndrome that consists of marked dilatation of the trachea and the major bronchi, and this is usually due to a congenital defect of the elastic and muscle fibers of the tracheobroncheal tree. Physicians have had only limited experience with performing anesthesia in patients with this type of syndrome. This syndorme is diagnosed by roentenological ...

Treatment of tracheal stenosis varies with the type and extent of the disease. Tracheostomy with stents, end-to-end anastomosis, or extensive reconstructive procedures often is required, especially when tracheomalacia is present. High recurrence rate is associated with relatively less invasive endotracheal treatments, such as bougie dilatation or total laser ablation. Mucosal sparing technique ...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Tracheostomy is a common procedure in intensive care patient management. The aim of this study was to capture the practice of tracheostomy in Intensive Care Units in the United Kingdom. A postal survey was sent to the lead clinicians of 228 general intensive care units (ICUs) throughout the United Kingdom excluding specialist units. We aimed to identify the current practi...

Introduction Percutaneous tracheostomy is one of the most commonly operative procedures performed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients [1]. Ciaglia Blue Rhino technique (CBR) is used in our ICU. In our clinical practice we sometimes encountered difficulties in doing initial dilatation of the soft tissue and tracheal wall with the Blue Rhino dilator: it occurs expecially in young or obese patie...

Percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy in the intensive care setting presents an increasingly important concept for establishing a large-bore tracheal airway with minimal surgical intervention. Over the last years, different technical solutions have been studied to assess their respective risks and benefits to determine whether one method is actually superior. A recent observational study compari...
