NCT03141294

Brief Summary

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT), especially single-step dilatational tracheostomy (sd-PDT), is now frequently preferred to surgical tracheostomy. Occasionally, it needs a second dilation maneuver .Dissection of the deep cervical fascia during PDT, known as reformative PDT (re-PDT), may facilitate the procedure. This study was designed to compare re-PDT with sd-PDT in ICU patients

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Force(newton)

    Force refers to the force needed to dilate the airway and measured by force gauge

    Intraoperative (Force was measured the exact moment when investigators insert the'J' guidewire)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Time(seconds)

    Time was measured from tracheal puncture to tracheal tube placement, 180 seconds maxime

Study Arms (2)

sd-PDT group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The investigators applied the traditional standard dilation technique when operating tracheostomy on the standard group.

Procedure: reformative dilation technique

re-PDT group

EXPERIMENTAL

The investigators applied the reformative dilation technique when operating tracheostomy on the re-PDT group.

Procedure: reformative dilation technique

Interventions

reformative dilation technique was used when operating tracheostomy

Also known as: reformative tracheostomy
re-PDT groupsd-PDT group
