ABSTRACT

Objective:

We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the percutaneous dilatational tracheostomies that we performed in our intensive care unit in the last two years.

Materials and Methods:

Patients who had undergone percutaneous tracheostomy in the intensive care unit of the anesthesiology and reanimation clinic of our hospital between May 2015 and May 2017 were assessed retrospectively. Patients over 18 years old were included in the study. Surgical tracheostomies were not included in the study.

Results:

One hundred thirty-two patients were examined. 56.1% of the patients were male with the mean age 66.61±17.84. The most common reason for hospitalization diagnosis was neurological diseases. Duration of intubation was 16.51±8.32 days and the total length of stay in the intensive care unit was 61.43±49.37 days. Percutaneous tracheostomy related complications developed in 17 (12.9%) patients. The most common complications during the procedure were hypoxemia and acute bleeding followed by subcutaneous emphysema and minor bleeding.

Conclusion:

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is a method that can lead to serious complications during the procedure.
