Percutaneous TracheotomyPercutaneous TracheotomyPEARLS:• The airway should be stabilized by endotracheal intubation or
introduction of a bronchoscope to ensure an orderly tracheostomy.• Patients who will require long-term ventilatory assistance should
undergo earlier conversion from endotracheal intubation to tracheostomy to prevent complications such as laryngeal or subglotticstenosis.
• Traction sutures in open surgical tracheostomy are helpful in maintaining an airway in cases of a displaced tracheostomy tube in the immediate postoperative period.
• Extended length tracheostomy tubes should be used in obese patients to reduce the risk of accidental decannulation.
• Preoperative and/or predischarge teaching makes postoperative care of the tracheostomy considerably easier for the patient.
• The use of bronchoscopy is mandatory in all cases of percutaneousdilatational tracheostomy.
• Endoscopic percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is especially well suited to adult patients in the intensive care unit because it is safe, simple, and can be performed at the bedside, reducing the need and expense of moving the patient to the operating room.

Percutaneous TracheotomyPercutaneous TracheotomyPITFALLS• Failure to stabilize the airway before tracheostomy may result in
intraoperative or postoperative complications or death.• Delay in conversion from long-term endotracheal intubation to
tracheostomy may result in laryngeal or subglottic stenosis.• Absence of tracheal traction sutures following open surgical
tracheostomy may compromise the ability to appropriately reposition a displaced tracheostomy tube in the early postoperative period.
• Lack of adequate light, suction, retraction of tissues, as well as failure to maintain dissection in the midline may lead to injury to major arteries and nerves.
• Unless the anesthesia team is present and alerted, adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation may not be available for the patient undergoing tracheostomy for chronic obstruction of the airway.
• Inadequate training, inappropriate patient selection, and lack of attention to technical detail may increase the risk of complications in endoscopic percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy.
