Brief Summary

Optical guidance for percutaneous tracheostomy in intensive care is usually performed by conventional multi use bronchoscopy. Recently a single use bronchoscope has been introduced that allows for endotracheal visualization. For feasibility evaluation, 23 patients in intensive care receive percutaneous tracheostomy with optical guidance by the Ambu® aScopeTM 4 bronchoscope and 23 patients in intensive care receive percutaneous tracheostomy with a conventional bronchoscope (Olympus BF Type P60). The primary end point is the visualization through the single use bronchoscope of endotracheal landmark structures for tracheostomy and visualization of the needle insertion (according to score, see detailed description).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Visualisation

    visualisation through the single use bronchoscope of endotracheal landmark structures for tracheotomy and visualization of the needle insertion (according to score) Scale Name: Rating A) Identification of: thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, 1st-3rd tracheal cartilage 1 Reliable identification; 2 Only cricoid cartilage and tracheal cartilages; 3 Only tracheal cartilages; 4 No vision on tracheal structures B) Visualization of tracheal circumference 1 Complete; 2 circumference 1/3 to 2/3 of circumference; 3 Only small parts of trachea; 4 No vision on tracheal structures C) Monitoring puncture: midline + level below 1st or 2nd tracheal cartilage 1 Reliable identification; 2 Midline sure Level uncertain, but below the 1st tracheal cartilage; 3 Level of puncture uncertain; 4 No vision on tracheal structures D) Monitoring dilatation Anterior wall and Pars membranacea (P.m.) visible; 1 Reliable identification; 2 P.m. only; 3 Only small parts of trachea visible, no control of P.
