Our experiences of percutaneous tracheostomy in intensive care unit
Abstract
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the indications for tracheostomy and early complications in patients who underwent percutaneous tracheostomy with the Griggs method in our clinic. Material and Method: This study is retrospective and observational. Demographic data, hospitalization diagnoses, days of opening tracheostomy, days of intensive care hospitalization, indications for tracheosotomy and early complications of tracheostomy were recorded and evaluated in a total of 78 patients between the ages of 23-93 who underwent percutaneous tracheostomy with the Griggs method between January 2021 and September 2022. Results: A total of 78 patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 42 (54%) were female and 36 (46%) were male. In the patients included in the study, the earliest tracheostomy day was the 7th day of intubation and the latest tracheostomy day was the 32nd day of intubation. The mean day in terms of tracheostomy day was 23rd day of intubation. In terms of early complications, bleeding was observed in 5 (6.5%) patients, tracheoesophageal fistula in 1 (1.3%) patient, and pneumothorax in 1 (1.3%) patient. No complications were encountered in 71 (90.9%) patients. Conclusion: Griggs technique, which is one of the percutaneous tracheotomy methods, can be safely applied in experienced hands in intensive care units.
