3. Introduction
• Trachea is a passage between the upper airways and lungs.
Any blockage or pathology above this level can impede air
entry. At these times making an opening in the trachea is a
safe technique in restoring air entry.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. Cricothyrotomy vs tracheostomy
•
Faster, less than 2mins
•
Easier, with less instrumentation
•
Less dissection
•
Fewer surgical complications and less bleeding
•
Can be taught to those with little surgical training
Space narrow for tube
Perichondritis, laryngeal stenosis, voice changes
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. NEEDLE CRICOTHYROTOMY
• first described by Sanders in 1967
• Spoerel et al (1971) and
Klain&Smith(1977) defined the
indications and technique.
AdvCan be very quickly performed with
fewer complications.
DisadvCan provide oxygen for short period, not
a definitive airway.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Tracheostomy
• The surgical creation of an opening into the trachea to bypass
obstructions that are interfering with breathing,& insertion of a tube
into the opening to allow for normal breathing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Indications
- Head and Neck Surgery- Otolaryngology: Byron J. Bailey
1.To bypass upper airway obstruction
2. To assist respiration over prolonged periods
3. To assist with clearance of lower respiratory secretions
4. To prevent aspiration of oral and gastric secretions
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. Rowe & Williams
Absolute indications for tracheostomy, for conditions other than impending
respiratory obstruction (IPPV):
•
When injuries are severe enough to cause hypercarbia and/or
hypoxaemia from the outset- flail chest, lung contusion or aspiration;
or developing later due to 'shock lung' (ARDS) or fat embolism.
•
Control of cerebral oedema (by controlling blood gases) in severe
head injuries
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Indications for tracheostomy in
maxillofacial trauma
• When prolonged artificial ventilation is necessary esp severe
associated head and chest injuries
• To facilitate anaesthesia for surgical repair in major injuries
• To ensure a safe postoperative recovery after extensive reparative
surgery
• Following obstruction of the airway from laryngeal oedema or
occasional direct injury to the base of the tongue and oropharynx
• Serious haemorrhage into the airway particularly when a further
secondary haemorrhage is a possibility
www.indiandentalacademy.com
- Synopsis of Otorhinolaryngology – Zakir Hussain
21. Timing of Tracheostomy
• The best time to do tracheostomy is the time when it is first felt
necessary, Tracheostomy has been recommended within 3 days of
intubation. (damage to the larynx & vocal cords is max b/w 3–7
days, if removed within this period, complete healing).
- RESPIRATORY CARE • APRIL 2005 VOL50 No 4 (483-487)
• The procedure is delayed long enough to allow extubation if
possible but is performed early enough to avoid complications of
long term intubation.
- Byron J. Bailey
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. Advantages
•
Decreases the amount of dead space by 70-100 ml
•
Reduces resistance to airflow and increases compliance
•
Provides Protection against aspiration.
•
Enables pt to swallow without reflex apnea.
•
Provides access to trachea for removing the secretions.
•
Delivery of medication & humidification to the
tracheobroncheal tree.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. Adverse effects
•
Loss of heat & moisture exchange.
•
Desiccation of tracheal epithelium leading to loss or
metaplasia of ciliated cells
•
Increased mucus production
•
Increase in viscid mucin, formation of thick crusts,
blockage of the tube particularly in children.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Types of Tracheostomy.
• Elective
Emergency
• High Tracheostomy
Mid Tracheostomy
Low Tracheostomy
• Temporary
Permanent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Tracheostomy care
Guidelines
• Bedside equipment.
• Care of the inner cannula,stoma site & ties.
• Suctioning of the tube.
• Humidification of inspired gases.
• Care for cuffed tube
• Decannulation: removal of tracheostomy tube.
• Dealing with emergencies.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Bedside equipment
• Spare tubes of Same / smaller size.
• Tracheal dilator.
• Suctioning equipment
-Ensure everyday equipment is assembled and working.
• Humidification unit
-Ensure everyday equipment is working properly.
• Container to hold speaking valve, occlusive cap/button or spare inner
cannula.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. Care of the inner cannula, stoma
site & ties.
AIM:
1. To maintain a patent airway
2. To maintain skin integrity.
3. To prevent infection.
4. To prevent tube displacement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. Humidification
Aims:
• To prevent drying of pulmonary secretions (tracheitis &
crust formation).
• To preserve muco-ciliary function.
Various methods of humidification
A) HEATED HUMIDIFIERS.
B) HEAT MOISTURE EXCHANGE FILTERS.
C) NEBULIZERS.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. CARE OF CUFFED TRACHEOSTOMY
TUBE
• When to inflate the cuff
• Immediately post-operatively - to prevent aspiration
of blood or serous fluid from the wound
• To seal the trachea during mechanical ventilation
• To prevent aspiration of leakage from tracheooesophageal fistula
• To prevent aspiration due to laryngeal incompetence
•Deflate:
• first suction the oropharynx.
• Cuff should be deflated atleast 5mins every hr.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Tracheostomy decannulation
• Should be left in place no longer than necessary
• As soon as the patient's condition permits, reduced the size of tube to
avoid physiologic dependence on a large tube,
• Check for adequacy of the airway, ability to swallow and handle
secretions for 24 hrs and then plug the tube.
• Occlusion tolerated for 8-12 hrs, the tube is removed & the
tracheocutaneous fistula is taped shut.
• Bronchoscopy before decannulation in the pediatric patient,
• Immediately after decannulation, the patient must be closely observed,
www.indiandentalacademy.com
and means for reestablishing the airway must be at hand.
51. Immediate
1.Apnea- physiologic denervation of the peripheral chemoreceptors by the sudden
increase of p02; ventilatory assistance may be required.
2.Hemorrhage- raise in venous BP due to coughing associated with
insertion of the tube.
3.Pneumothorax
i. Respiratory obstruction - increased respiratory effort - air sucked
in mediastinum.
ii. secondary to laceration of the apex of pleural space (common in
children).
4.Injury of adjacent structures- dissection lateral & deep to the trachea.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. Intermediate
1.Tracheitis and tracheobronchitis- severe in infants
-necrotizing tracheo-bronchitis is frequent.
-Humidification, nebulization & instillation of fluid/mucolytics.
2. Improper tube –
Too long -partial tracheal obstruction & possible rupture of the innominate artery.
- extend in one bronchus, atelectasis of the opp lung
Too short- displacement of the tube out of the trachea,
3.Obstruction of the tube- mucus plug/ blood clot due to lack of care.
- suction no relief in obstructive symptoms, change the tube
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. .
4.Subcutaneous emphysema- tight suturing or packing.
- Emphysema localized in the neck & upper chest but may
involve the whole body and progress to
pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax.
pneumothorax -chest drain with an underwater seal.
- Any constricting force around the tube b/w the skin& trachea
must be removed to prevent progression.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. Late
1.Stenosis- injury and perichondritis of the cricoid cartilage.
- can occur at
-Cuff level
-Tracheostomy level
-Subglottic level
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. 2.Exuberant granulations
-anterior tracheal wall result of delayed epithelialization in case of large
defects ,causing obstruction and bleeding.
3.Localized tracheomalacia- immediately superior& posteriorly to the healed opening.
-Use of large & sharply angled tube,
-avoided by using a more flexible tube of Teflon or Silastic.
4. Scar -vertical skin incision.
-longer duration of tracheostomy
-Vertical contracture,hypertrophic scar require a Z plasty.
5.Tracheocutaneous fistula-wound must be revised and closed with careful approximation of tissue
layers.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. Percutaneous Tracheostomy
Shelden described a needle-guided trocar for access into the trachea.
Ciaglia et al described PDT based on the Seldinger technique, using
sequential dilators of increasing diameter.
INDICATIONS
Percutaneous tracheostomy has been proposed as an alternative to
open/surgical tech.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. Extended Indications for Percutaneous
Tracheostomy
• patients with short, fat neck;
• inability to perform neck extension;
• enlarged isthmus of thyroid;
• previous tracheostomy; or
• coagulopathy and anti-coagulation therapy.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Complications of Percutaneous Tracheostomy
•
false passage of the tracheostomy tube,
•
pneumothorax,
•
delayed bleeding,
•
puncture of the posterior tracheal wall,
•
premature extubation during the procedure and loss of the
airway.

reduce comlications
66. Endoscopic percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy: a
prospective evaluation of 500 consecutive cases
- Kost K.M.
-Department of Otolaryngology, McGill University, Canada
-Laryngoscope. 2005 Oct;115(10 Pt 2):1-30. Links
-Total complication rate was 9.2% (13.6% in the multiple dilator
group, and 6.5% in the single dilator group)
-
most common complications were oxygen desaturation (in 14 cases)
and bleeding (in 12 cases)
-
absence of serious complications such as pneumothorax and
pneumomediastinum were attributable to the use of bronchoscopy
-Endoscopic PDT is associated with a low complication rate and is at
least as safe as surgical www.indiandentalacademy.com
tracheotomy in the ICU setting
67. Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy versus open
tracheostomy--a prospective, randomized, controlled
trial.
- Wu J.J., Huang et all
- Division of Trauma, Taipei Veterans General Hospital,
- J Chin Med Assoc. 2003 Aug;66(8):467-73
- 83 tracheostomies
- Procedure time was 22.0 +/- 12.1 minutes in PDT group, and
41.5 +/- 5.9 minutes in OT group,
- incidences of complications were not different between both
groups
- simple, safe and time-saving bedside procedure and can be
recommended when an elective tracheostomy is needed in a
critical patient.
