In this structured review, I aim to discuss the principle of tracheostomies including what they are and why we perform them. My main objective is to explore the literature surrounding whether or not there is a better option between open surgical and percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy, based on the complications with which they are associated. Simply put, a tracheostomy is a common surgical procedure performed on critically ill patients in order to facilitate their breathing. I will discuss the two main types of tracheostomy: open surgical (OST) and percutaneous dilatational (PDT), along with their accompanying impediments.

Introduction: Tracheostomy is one of the frequent surgical procedure carried out in intensive care unit. Percutaneous tracheostomy is becoming increasingly popular compared to conventional open surgical tracheostomy in ICU. Methods: A prospective randomized trial with twenty patients in each group was conducted to compare the outcomes of percutaneous and surgical tracheostomy. Percutaneous tracheostomy was performed using Ciaglia Blue Rhino technique and surgical tracheostomy was performed using established technique. The outcomes were compared in relation to randomization to tracheostomy, completion of procedure, intra operative and post-operative complications, hospital length of stay and cost. Results: There were no major complications in either group. Most variables studied were not statistically significant. The two groups did not differ in terms of basic demographics or APACHE II score. The only variables to reach statistical significance were time duration from tracheostomy randomization to start of procedure and time taken for completion of procedure. It was mean 31.85±15.35 hours in Percutaneous Tracheostomy group and in Surgical Tracheostomy group it was mean 49.10±23.61 hours respectively (p<0.009). Time taken to perform percutaneous tracheostomy was mean 15.50±3.22 minutes and for surgical tracheostomy it was mean 20.30±3.38 minutes. (p<0.001). Conclusion: Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is simple, faster to perform and can be done at bedside to avoid considerable delay in the performance of open tracheostomy where there is high demand for elective and emergency procedures in operating room.

Prolonged Ventilation

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a commonly performed procedure in critically ill patients [1]. It can be safely performed bedside. This has resulted in decline in the use of surgical tracheostomy except in few selected cases. Over the last 10 years data on newer methods of insertion, timing, safety profile and complication rates has been published, which has greatly improved our understanding of this procedure [2]. The most common indication of tracheostomy in the ICU is the need for prolonged ventilation. Less complication occur with an increase in skills. Many methods of performing PDT have been discovered recently [3]. Bronchoscopy has been found to be beneficial procedural aides the PDT [4]. In our study, a brief overview about the use of PDT in ICU and, different percutaneous techniques will be discussed. The conclusion is that percutaneous tracheostomies offer benefits for some of the outcomes when compared with surgical tracheostomies.
