The Period ofDramatization (AD 1833–1932)
“The question always arises in the mind of the young surgeon whether the symptoms are
sufciently urgent to render the operation necessary.”McKenzie [11]
This sentence by McKenzie helps us to understand the idea that physicians had of the procedure back then. Trousseau, in 1833, described 200 cases of tracheostomies performed in patients with diphtheria (also known as croup). Patients usually develop a membrane on one or both tonsils, with extension to the tonsillar pillars, uvula, soft palate, oropharynx, and nasopharynx. Corynebacterium diphtheria mul­tiplies on the surface of the mucous membrane, resulting in formation of the pseu­domembrane. He reported that 25% of these interventions were successful.
In 1869, Dr.Erichsen described four complications of tracheostomy: exposing of the air tube, hemorrhage, opening of the air passage, and misplacement of the tra­cheostomy tube. He further recommended that the tube be cleaned with a sponge and a solution of silver nitrate [12].
With time, tracheostomy became an accepted technique to bypass upper air­way obstruction. In 1909, Chevalier Jackson dened factors that predisposed to complications, such as a high incision, use of an improper cannula, poor postop­erative care, and splitting of the cricoid cartilage. He designed a metal double­lumen tube of proper length and curvature with just the right tting to avoid excessive pressure on the anterior or posterior wall of the trachea and to reduce the risks of ulceration and tracheal erosion (Fig.5). Jackson favored a vertical

incision from the thyroid notch to the suprasternal notch for best visibility of the surgical eld. His teachings signicantly reduced the complication rate and mor­tality rate of tracheostomy [13].
With the introduction of immunization for diphtheria and the discovery of sulfonamides to help reduce other upper respiratory infections, the need for emergency tracheostomy became less common. For a brief period, tracheos­tomy was the only means of securing airways through general anesthesia, but the increasing popularity of endotracheal intubation replaced the need for tracheostomy.
The Period ofEnthusiasm (AD 1932–1965)
“If you think tracheostomy … do it!”Unknown author
Almost in direct opposition to McKenzie’s statement, this sentence became very popular during this period. The indications for tracheostomy were being actively pursued by the medical world. In 1932, with the outbreak of bulbar poliomyelitis, tracheostomy was used to prevent impending pulmonary infection, since the affected patients were unable to cough and raise secretions. For the rst time, tracheostomy was considered as an elective procedure [14]. Polio remained an epidemic until the early 1950s, when the invention of positive pressure respiration, together with tra­cheostomy, greatly reduced its mortality.
Tracheostomy was openly advocated for tetanus; head, chest, and maxillofacial injuries; drug overdose; and following major surgery where airway patency was compromised [7]. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), while soldiers with maxillofacial trauma were waiting for surgery, they underwent tracheostomy to pre­vent aspiration and respiratory distress. This practice decreased mortality rates for soldiers waiting for such surgeries [15]. Tracheostomy became more prevalent as intensive care and postanesthetic care units were established in the 1950s, with bet­ter care for tracheostomy patients [16].
With the control of many infectious diseases, the indications for tracheostomy were changing. In 1961, Meade, in a series of 212 cases, showed that 41% of trache­ostomies were still carried out on patients with upper airway obstruction due to tumors, infectious disease, and trauma, and 55% were performed to assist in mechanical ventilation [17].
The Period ofRationalization (AD 1965–Present)
With improvements in the techniques of orotracheal and nasotracheal intubation, these have become safer and faster alternatives to tracheostomy. Improvements in tracheostomy tubes, aspiration equipment, and use of biocompatible materials have improved the safety of the procedure.
Goldenberg etal. showed that 76% of tracheostomies were prophylactically per­formed in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, while only 6% of
8
S. Monteiro et al.
patients were tracheostomized due to upper airway obstruction. Only 0.26% of tra­cheostomies were performed on an emergency basis [18].
Percutaneous dilational tracheostomy (PDT) is an alternative to open tracheos­tomy because it can be comfortably performed at the bedside (Fig. 6). In 1953, Seldinger introduced the technique of percutaneous guide wire needle placement for arterial catheterization. In 1985, the guide wire technique was adapted to percu­taneous tracheostomy by Ciaglia et al. In 1969, Toy and Weinstein developed a tapered straight dilator for performing percutaneous tracheostomy over a guiding catheter [19], and in 1989 Schachner etal. developed dilating tracheostomy forceps over a guide wire.
The development of PDT using serial dilators over a guide wire made the proce­dure safer in elective situations and can be performed by various medical personnel at the beside [20]. We now have two possible techniques for performing tracheos­tomy in intensive care units for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Carried out in the operating room, intensive care, and intermediate care units— and even inlocations with minimal medical support—tracheostomy remains one of the most important and commonly performed surgical procedures to this day. It may be dreaded, scorned, and carried out with extreme hesitancy, or in other instances, a noble and dramatic life-saving procedure.

For practice of any surgery, it is essential to know the anatomy of each structure involved in the technique, as well as the elements that surround it. The trachea is not just a tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, as well as other organs of the respiratory tree; it has the function of cleaning and heating the air that transits in its lumen. Anatomical variations, whether congenital or acquired, are challeng­ing and should never be overlooked. In this chapter, we will provide an explana­tion illustrated with a photographic and schematic collection, with emphasis on surgical details.

Macrostructure

The trachea is a tube located in the midline, connecting the cricoid cartilage in the neck to the main bronchi in the thorax. In its cervical portion, it begins at the height of the sixth or seventh vertebra, and is deep to the cervical fascia and infra­hyoid muscles (Figs.1 and 2). It is bordered by the thyroid gland on the anterior face, with lateral recurrent laryngeal nerves. As it progresses caudally, it remains anterior to the esophagus, between the common carotid arteries, internal jugular veins, and vagus nerve (Figs.3, 4, 5, and 6). The brachiocephalic or innominate artery is the rst blood vessel found in pretracheal dissection during airway

mobilization, justifying the reason for trachea–innominate stula occurrence. The brachiocephalic vein crosses the front of the innominate artery in a plane even more anterior to the trachea. The carina is in the lower border of the trachea, where the two primary bronchi originate, at the height of the fourth or fth tho­racic vertebra (Figs.7 and 8) [1].
The trachea surfaces with cervical extension allowing half of it to be accessible by this route, facilitating most surgical procedures. Maximal exion leads to cricoid cartilage at the level of the sternum, minimizing the tension of anastomoses after resection of the tracheal segment. With current anatomical knowledge and blood supply, good mobilization promotes greater safety for resection and reconstruction of half the length of the trachea [2].
The trachea has an incomplete cartilaginous ring structure, the posterior face lled by smooth muscle with longitudinal (external) and transverse bers (inter­nal tracheal muscle). The annular ligament is found between the tracheal rings and it is composed of two layers of brous membrane: an external layer, covering the surface of each ring; and another internal layer. In the intervals of the carti­lage, these membranes meet, conferring both exibility and xation to the respira­tory tract.
The external diameter of the trachea measures approximately 2.3cm in the coro­nal cut, and 1.8cm in the sagittal cut in men, forming a U-like structure. In females these dimensions are 2.0cm and 1.4cm, respectively, forming an elliptical frame­work in the axial section. The length in the adult phase is, on average, 11.8cm and
