The objective of this study was to investigate a new technique for tracheal puncture during percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy (PDT). A new invention, known as SafeTrach, was used: this instrument allows exact localization of the puncture site with built-in protection of the posterior tracheal wall. Surgery was performed on 17 patients with this technique, and our experience is described in this report. The results showed that this new technique minimizes known risk factors compared with existing PDT techniques, including patients with disadvantageous anatomy.
本研究的目的是探讨经皮扩张气管切开术(PDT)期间气管穿刺的新技术。我们使用了一项名为SafeTrach的新发明:该器械可实现穿刺部位的精确定位,并对气管后壁起到内置保护作用。采用该技术对17例患者实施了手术,本报告介绍了我们的经验。结果表明,与现有的PDT技术相比,这项新技术将已知风险因素降至最低,包括解剖结构不利的患者。
