Brief summary
Trial is a randomized study to compare between ultrasound guided percutaneous tracheostomy and bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy.
Detailed description
Trial is a randomized study to compare between ultrasound guided percutaneous tracheostomy and bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy. Patients will be randomly assigned to be submitted to evaluate safety, complication rates, easy to perform , clinical outcomes and effectivity.
Interventions
Ultrasound guided percutaneous tracheostomy
Bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* All intubated and mechanically ventilated patients indicated for a tracheostomy
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with tracheal or neck abnormalities, soft tissue infection in the neck, neck surgery history, oxygenation problems , coagulation disorders or coagulation parameter changes and those requiring urgent or surgery patients unable to provide informed consent.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| procedure failure of ultrasound to provide this anatomical information and ease of perform | During percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average time 20 minutes | occurence of a major complications: bleeding, subcutaneous emphysema, oesophageal perforation, number of applied needle interventions, procedure duration, cardiorespiratory arrest |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| procedure time | during percutaneous tracheostomy ( average expected time 20 minutes) | the procedure duration was taken as the time that elapsed from the placement of the needle to the placement of the tracheostomy cannula. |
| Pneumothorax | Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks | Pneumothorax due to the percutaneous tracheostomy detected by clinical examination during the procedure or chest x-ray after the procedure. |
| Tracheal posterior wall injury | Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks | Tracheal posterior wall injury as detected by bronchoscopy after the procedure |
| Cardiorespiratory arrest | during percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average of 20 minutes | Cardiorespiratory arrest due to percutaneous tracheostomy |
| Minor bleeding | Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks | Haemorrhage that could not be stopped by sponge wrapping the stoma after the procedure and/or blood coming with aspiration inside the tracheostomy tube was defined as minor bleeding |
| Major bleeding | During the procedure an expected average of 20 minutes | Continuous haemorrhage from the stoma and/or from the trachea with aspiration despite compresses was defined as a major haemorrhage. |
| Accidental decannulation | Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks | Accidental decannulation after the procedure during Hospital stay |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hypoxemia | During percutaneous tracheostomy an expected average of 20 minutes | Drop in peripheral oxygen saturation \< 90% for more than 2 minutes as measured by pulse oximeter during the procedure |
