Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994
Emergency physicians should be able to quickly evaluate and initiate therapy for tracheostomy tube obstruction, tracheal hemorrhage, interstitial air leading to pneumothorax, and infections throughout the lower respiratory tract. Familiarity with tracheal tubes and their function is a prerequisite to dealing with immediate distress in these patients ...

THE ROLE of tracheostomy in the management of patients with acute upper-airway obstruction has changed considerably in the past few decades. Once the prime initial technique for relieving sudden airway embarrassment, tracheostomy is now only one of several methods available, each of which has specific advantages and disadvantages.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Tracheostomy is a common procedure used by a wide variety of surgeons. Complications after tracheostomy have been used as a rationale for prolonging a translaryngeal intubation. Understanding the pathogenesis of tracheostomy complications combined with meticulous surgical and perioperative management avoids the majority of complications.

Tracheostomy and Mini-Tracheostomy
2009Percutaneous dilational tracheosto-my (PDT) is currently accepted as the standard technique for longer-term airway management in the critically ill patient in many intensive care units (ICUs). This chapter gives an overview of applied anatomy and techniques, answering the questions of timing, indications, complications, choice of tracheostomy tube and ...

Advanced carcinoma of the lower neck with direct extension to the superior mediastinum is a major therapeutic challenge. Complete removal of the tumors requires a radical operation in order to remove the larynx, portions of trachea and esophagus, and to construct a tracheostomy stoma with intrathoracic trachea.We present our experience and technique ...

Respiratory Care, 2010
Tracheostomy tubes are placed for a variety of reasons, including failure to wean from mechanical ventilation, inability to protect the airway due to impaired mental status, inability to manage excessive secretions, and upper-airway obstruction. A tracheostomy tube is required in approximately 10% of patients receiving mechanical ventilation and allows

Head & Neck Surgery, 1984
AbstractA technique designed to create a permanent, wide open, and stable tracheal stoma is based on two corresponding U‐shaped flaps: one from the anterior tracheal wall, the other from the skin in the suprasternal notch. The method described in this article has proved to be efficient, practical, well tolerated, and readily reversible.

Respiratory Care, 2005
No hypothesis relating to respiratory care in the intensive care unit has proved more difficult to study in an objective fashion than the commonly held belief that tracheostomy hastens weaning from ventilatory support. Tracheostomy might facilitate weaning by reducing dead space and decreasing airway resistance, by improving secretion clearance, by ...

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1976
The evolution of tracheostomy can be divided into five stages. The first and longest period (covering roughly 3,000 years from 1500 BC to 1500 AD) begins with references to incisions into the “wind pipe” in the Ebers Papyrus and the Rig Veda. However, Alexander the Great, Asclepiades, Aretaeus and Galen are all recorded as having used this operation ...

Tracheostomy in pediatric patients involves major morbidity that is often reflected in prolonged decannulation difficulty. A review of 123 consecutive pediatric tracheostomies shows that 44 patients experienced such difficulties. Among those patients suffering decannulation delay, subglottic stenosis had developed in 39%, tracheal granuloma in 25 ...
