OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative costeffectiveness of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy
(PDT) and surgical tracheostomy (ST) in critically ill
patients. DESIGN: Prospective randomized study.
SETTING: Medical, surgical, and coronary intensive
care units at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, a tertiary care
medical center.
PATIENTS: Eighty critically ill mechanically ventilated
patients requiring elective tracheostomy.
INTERVENTIONS: Randomization to either PDT
performed in the intensive care unit or ST performed

Crit Care Med 2001 May;29(5):926-30
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Treatment groups were well matched with
respect to age (PDT, 65.44 +/- 2.82 [mean +/- se] years; ST, 61.4 +/- 2.89 years, p =
Ns), gender (PDT, 45% males; ST, 47.5% males, p = NS), severity of illness (Acute
Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score: PDT, 16.87 +/- 0.84; ST, 17.88 +/0.92, p = NS), and principle diagnosis. PDT was performed more quickly (PDT, 20.1
+/- 2.0 mins; ST, 41.7 +/- 3.9 mins, p < .0001) and was associated with lower patient
charges than ST (total patient charges: PDT, 1,569 dollars +/- 157 dollars vs. ST,
3,172 dollars +/- 114 dollars; equipment/supply charges: PDT, 688 dollars +/- 103
dollars vs. ST, 1,526 dollars +/- 87 dollars; professional charges: PDT, 880 dollars +/54 dollars vs. ST, 1,647 dollars +/- 50 dollars; p < .0001 for all). There were no
differences in days intubated before tracheostomy (PDT, 12.7 +/- 1.1 days; ST, 15.6
+/- 1.9, p = .20), intensive care unit length of stay (PDT, 24.5 +/- 2.5 days; ST, 28.5 +/3.1 days, p = .33), or hospital length of stay (PDT 49.7 +/- 4.2 days; ST, 43.7 +/- 3.5
days, p = .28) when we compared these two techniques. CONCLUSIONS: PDT is a
cost-effective alternative to ST. The reduction in patient charges associated with PDT
in this study resulted from the procedure being performed in the intensive care unit,
thus eliminating the need e Rianimazione Ospedale and personnel. PDT may

“Patients meeting our selection criteria for bedside tracheostomy had a
significantly reduced perioperative complication rate compared with
those who failed to meet these criteria, and subsequently underwent
tracheostomy placement in the operating room (5% vs. 20%... No
statistically significant difference was found in the perioperative
complication incidence between the two methods of bedside
tracheostomy. However, percutaneous
tracheostomy
placement at the bedside resulted in a significant
increase in postoperative complication incidence

patient charge of $436 per bedside procedure.

» Tracheostomy continues to be a standard
procedure for the management of long-term
ventilator-dependent patients. Traditionally
the procedure has been performed by
surgeons in the operating theater using an
open technique. This routine practice has
recently been challenged by the
introduction of bedside percutaneous
dilatational tracheostomy (PDT), which has
been reported to be a cost-effective
alternative. The purpose of this study is to

effects of different tracheostomy techniques on intracranial pressure
(ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and cerebral extraction of
oxygen. We attempted to identify the main mechanisms affecting
intracranial pressure during tracheostomy. To do so we conducted a
prospective, block-randomized, clinical study which took place in a
neurosurgical intensive care unit in a teaching hospital. The patients
studied consisted of thirty comatose patients admitted to the intensive
care unit because of head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or brain
tumor. Ten patients per group were submitted to standard surgical
tracheostomy, percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy or translaryngeal
tracheostomy. In every technique a significant increase of ICP (P < .05)
was observed at the time of cannula placement. Intracranial
hypertension (ICP > 20 mm Hg) was more frequent in the percutaneous
dilatational tracheostomy group (P < .05). Cerebral perfusion pressure
