Tracheostomy is a common surgical procedure for securing a patent airway. Anatomical variations of major vessels overlying the trachea may pose significant bleeding risk during the procedure. Hence, thorough preoperative assessment of the neck and surgeon's intraoperative vigilance are essential. Open tracheostomy is a safer option than percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy. Extra caution with stoma wound care and change of tracheostomy tube are necessary postoperatively if any major vessel is detected in close proximity with the tracheal stoma.
气管切开术是一种常见的外科手术,用于确保气道通畅。气管上方大血管的解剖变异可能会在手术过程中带来显著的出血风险。因此,术前对颈部进行彻底评估以及术者术中保持警惕至关重要。与经皮扩张气管切开术相比,开放性气管切开术是一种更安全的选择。如果发现任何大血管紧邻气管造口,术后需要格外小心地护理造口伤口并更换气管切开管。
