Brief Summary

Percutaneous tracheostomy is routinely performed in most intensive care units in the world.Several studies have shown that the procedure is safe and economically efficient in comparison to open surgical operation in the operating room. In the investigator's institution as in a number of institutions in the country and abroad, it is acceptable to perform the operation either by withdrawing the endotracheal tube to a position near the vocal cords by direct laryngoscopy and then puncturing the trachea with a needle distal to the endotracheal tube, prior to carrying out the PDT, by location of the anatomy by palpation of the neck, or alternatively by doing the entire procedure under bronchoscopic guidance. So far, no systematic comparison has been made between the two methods ie PDT without bronchoscopy versus PDT with bronchoscopy.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A systematic comparison among the two methods of percutaneous tracheostomy in terms of safety: minor and major periprocedural morbidity.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Periprocedural Mortality.

    30 days.

  • Post procedural ICU & Hospital length of stay.

    30 days.

  • Complication rate comparison of PDT done in the ICU to PDT done in locations other than the ICU.

    30 days.

  • Procedure's length.

    60 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Bronchoscopy Guided

OTHER

Percutaneous tracheostomy will be guided by bronchoscopy. Initially, the tube will be placed according to the desired height observed by the bronchoscope, phase two will be tracheal perforation by a needle under trans illumination and real-time view on the income of the needle and the passage of the guide wire.

Procedure: Percutaneous Tracheostomy

Direct Laryngoscopy

OTHER

Performing percutaneous tracheostomy by placing the tube higher up, near the vocal cords by direct laryngoscopy. In the second stage tracheal perforation by a needle will be carried out by palpation of the anatomical placement of the neck.

Procedure: Percutaneous Tracheostomy

Interventions

Bronchoscopy GuidedDirect Laryngoscopy
