Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy Kits

There are several different kits on the market for performing percutaneous tracheos­tomy. All of them involve an initial tracheal puncture, using the Seldinger tech­nique, with guide wire placement and initial dilatation, followed by the main dilatation and passage of the tracheostomy cannula.
The main kits available are described below.

Single Progressive Plastic Dilator (Ciaglia Blue Rhino®, Cook®)

This kit (see Fig. 15) represents an evolution of the kit initially developed by Ciaglia when the percutaneous tracheostomy technique was described [13]. The previous kit had multiple progressive plastic dilators and required multiple steps in the dila­tion process until the orice in the trachea reached the same size as the chosen

cannula. Through use of a unique blue plastic dilator with the shape of a rhinoceros horn—hence the name given to the kit—the process became simpler, since after the initial dilation, this dilator is introduced through the guide wire with another plastic guide for reinforcement. As this dilator has a thin tip and a progressively larger cali­ber toward its base, the tracheal orice increases in size as the dilator is introduced. It has black reference marks so the doctor knows how far to insert it (depending on the chosen cannula), as well as a safety mark that represents the maximum safe dila­tion. After this step, three different cannula introducers (which engage the plastic guide wire assembly) are available, depending on the size of the cannula chosen by the surgeon. This kit is perhaps the most widely used nowadays due to its versatility, since it allows the use of cannulae of different calibers and models. When compared with the Portex
®
kit, it has the peculiarity of requiring a tracheal puncture on the midline, since this type of dilator does not allow side compensation of the dilation. Studies that have shown that up to 30% of tracheostomies done with this kit are accompanied by tracheal ring fractures, but there seems to be no relation between this fact and other complications such as tracheal stenosis [14].

Dilation by Metallic Forceps (Griggs® Forceps, Portex®)

This kit (see Fig. 16) has metal dilator forceps with a hole in the tip. After puncture, guide wire passage, and initial dilation, the forceps are connected to the guide wire through the orice and can be led to the tracheal lumen. After the dilation performed with clamp opening to the size of the chosen cannula, the cannula (which has its own introducer and is included in the kit) is placed [15]. The introducer of the cannula is

unique because it has one orice and does not attach to other cannulae models, so the doctor must use the cannula included in the kit or another one of the same brand that also has this kind of introducer. It has the advantage of compensating the dilation to one side, through the unequal opening of the clamp, allowing correction of a paramedian puncture. In addition, the metal clamp can be reused after sterilization, and the kit can be purchased without the tweezers, which may reduce costs.

Balloon Dilator Through Water Pressure (Dolphin BT®, Cook®)

More recently the percutaneous tracheostomy balloon kit (see Fig.17) was intro­duced, based on other types of dilatation systems used in other specialties. Unlike other dilatation systems, it has controlled dilatation through pressure measure­ment inside the balloon, which is inated with saline during the procedure. Just behind the balloon is the introducer attached to the cannula, which eliminates the

step of removing the dilator and introducing the cannula, making the process easier.
Exactly as in the other kits, the procedure starts with a tracheal puncture (using the Seldinger technique) followed by guide wire placement; initial dilatation; positioning of the system with the balloon, introducer, and cannula; dilatation; and introduction of the cannula. The procedure has been shown to be safe and has the advantages of a more controlled dilation (although it is mechanical) independent of the surgeon strength, and tamponade power of the compression made by the balloon [16].

Screw Rotating Plastic Dilator (PercuTwist®, Rush®)

The rotational dilator contained in this kit (see Fig.18) is introduced into the tra­chea after puncture using the Seldinger technique, as with other kits. Tracheal dila­tion is accomplished by progressively rotating the dilator until the tracheal aperture

reaches the size of the chosen cannula. Some studies have shown that this kit may cause more trauma than others and can lead more frequently to posterior tracheal wall injuries [17].
Role ofUltrasound inPercutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy
One of the challenges of performing PDT is to dene the right place to make the puncture, in order to make the tracheostomy between the second and the fourth tracheal rings. Due to edema and/or subcutaneous emphysema in ICU patients, pal­pation of landmarks for the puncture can be difcult. An abnormal physical exami­nation such as the presence of a goiter, a short neck, tracheal deviation, or obesity can also make palpation of the anatomical features difcult or even impossible.
To perform PDT, therefore, it is necessary to use ultrasound equipment with a high-frequency linear transducer (10–14MHz), which allows an evaluation from the supercial structures to 5cm deeper [18].
Cartilage appears hypoechoic (dark) on ultrasound. The anterior border of the airway creates a hyperechoic (white) line, due to the acoustic impedance difference between the soft tissue and the air, which produces an intense wave reection (Figs.19 and 20). The posterior tracheal wall cannot be evaluated because the air inside the tracheal lumen does not allow the return of the ultrasound wave. The use of the Doppler function can also determine if there is any vessel in the path.
The transducer is initially applied in the transversal orientation to locate the air­way and to identify possible risks and difculties (Figs.21 and 22). Then, over the midline of the trachea, the transducer is turned to the longitudinal position, with the directional indicator oriented toward the patient’s head. The thyroid isthmus is iden­tied to avoid puncturing it, and the tracheal rings from the cricoid are counted (Fig.19). At that moment, the endotracheal tube is searched for, which is shown as a parallel hyperechoic line (Fig.20), and it is pulled so that the tube stays cephalad to the puncture site.
