Application study of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy in critically illed patients
Objective:To evaluate the clinical values of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy(PDT)by studying and comparing the application of PDT and open tracheostomy(OT)in SCIU patients.Methods:A prospective randomized study was taken to compare the incidence rate of complications
procedure-related mortality rate and operation time of PDT around the surgical operation period with those of traditional OT.Results:Incidence of complications and procedure-related mortality rate in the PDT group were significantly lower than those of OT group(P<0.05).The operation time of the PDT group was 6 to 11 minutes
with average time as 8.43±1.70 minutes
while that of OT group was 14 to 35
with average time as 24.45±6.27 minutes.Conclusion:The PDT technique is easy to operate
convenient and with low incidence of complications
which can be widely applied to the critically illed patients of SICU.
