instruments and disposable materials that will be used in the procedure, making it dif­cult to access them. Another challenge is patient positioning (Fig.12), which can change throughout the procedure by deformation of the mattress on the ICU bed, which is made to avoid areas of high pressure—a fact that may jeopardize the procedure.

Bedside or Operating Room Tracheostomy?

Deciding where to do a tracheostomy depends fundamentally on two factors: avail­able resources and patient conditions.
It should be assessed if there is a trained professional available to use the desired technique, and if there is availability of resources to perform it (operation room time, safe transport for a ICU patient, a well-established bedside procedure proto­col, an intensive care team experienced in organizing the appropriate materials and assisting a tracheostomy, a PT kit, etc.). Finally, the patient’s clinical condition must be assessed with regard to laboratory tests, cardiorespiratory stability, possibility of cervical hyperextension, and access to the airway.
Considering these points, the surgeon is then able to decide, on a case-by-case basis, where is the best place to do the tracheostomy.

Tracheostomy Complications

Gabriel Manfro, Fernando Luiz Dias, and Terence Pires de Farias
Tracheostomy is a frequently performed procedure. The variety of indications and different characteristics of the patients makes attention necessary to avoid compli­cations The decision regarding the performance of tracheostomy should consider the risks and benets of this procedure [1].
More important than knowing the possible complications of the tracheostomy, making the diagnosis early, and treating them, is to identify in advance possible characteristics of the procedure that increase the chances of events, such as trache­ostomies in obese patients or pediatric patients, and retracheostomy [2].

Transoperative Complications

Bleeding

This is the most frequent complication, affecting between 1% and 37% of cases [3]. Most of the time the bleeding is minor, without hemodynamic repercussions for the patient (Fig. 1). it usually occurs due to failure of vessel exposure and exacerbated traction on these structures, especially the anterior jugular veins and inferior thyroid veins (Fig. 2).
The treatment of this kind of bleeding normally is done with hemostatic maneu­vers with suturing or electrocauterization.

Pneumothorax

This occurs by inadvertent injury of the apical pleura (Fig.3), which is more easily exposed in patients who are on mechanical ventilation. In addition, this pleural seg­ment is more exposed in children, which increases the risk of this complication from 4% in adults to up to 17% in children [3, 4].
To diagnose this complication, it is necessary to perform a chest X-ray after the tracheostomy [3, 4].
Another cause of pneumothorax is the placement of the cannula on a false path anteriorly and laterally to the trachea (Fig.4).

Esophageal Perforation

This iatrogenic lesion is rare, occurring in fewer than 1% of cases, and should be treated immediately, with suturing in two planes, in addition to diversion of food intake with nasoenteric feeding. Late diagnosis of this complication signicantly worsens the prognosis, based on the risk of mediastinitis [3, 4].
Normally it happens with lateral traction of the trachea, exposing the anterior wall of the esophagus, confusing the muscular esophagus wall with the strap mus­cles, which could resulting in a surgical esophagus injury (Figs.5 and 6).

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

This occurs during lateral dissection of the trachea, and happens more easily when it is deviated. This complication usually is diagnosed after decannulation, with sig­nicant dysphonia and changes in swallowing with aspiration of varied intensity, and is conrmed by laryngoscopy examination. This neural decit may be denitive or temporary [5, 6].

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Several factors can result in cardiorespiratory arrest during the performance of a tracheostomy: delay in airway clearance, cardiac arrhythmia, vagal stimulation, hypertensive pneumothorax, postobstruction pulmonary edema, and excessive inha­lation of oxygen in patients with chronic hypercarbia [3, 7].

Pneumomediastinum

This occurs more often in children and is usually diagnosed on routine chest X-rays. This complication can be caused by dissection of the paratracheal soft tissues, espe­cially in cases of excessive respiratory effort and also when accompanied by cough.
In most cases, pneumomediastinum is asymptomatic and does not require treatment [8].

Combustion

This rare complication can be a catastrophic event. The use of electrocautery on a surface that has received an alcoholic solution, in the presence of oxygen in a high concentration, may result in ideal conditions for the occurrence of severe burns.
Care should be taken to avoid this complication; however, if it occurs, treatment should be instituted to minimize the complications of airway burns, such as antibi­otics, intravenous uids, and corticosteroids [8].
Late debridement will be necessary in the following days to avoid secondary infection of the burned tissue.

Early Complications

Cannula Obstruction

The presence of mucous secretions or blood clots can occur frequently and immedi­ately after performing the tracheostomy. This can be avoided by using proper humidication and frequent aspiration of the tracheostomy. To avoid complete obstruction of the cannula, the use of a prosthesis with an inner cannula is essential, otherwise replacement is indicated [8].

Displacement of the Tracheostomy Tube

The earlier this occurrence happens, the more serious a complication it can be. In the immediate postoperative period, the peritracheal soft tissue does not present brosis. Then there is no dened path between the skin and the trachea, and imme­diate recannulation could be difcult to perform. Decannulation more frequently occurs in patients without favorable anatomy such as obesity, agitated patients, or those with a severe cough. Incorrect cannula xation and inappropriate dressing may also facilitate the occurrence of this complication.
One of the clear signs of cannula displacement is the possibility of the patient speaking even with a tracheostomy.
For the repositioning of the cannula, a suture in the tracheal ring can help in the exposure of the tracheal orice. In cases where repositioning of the cannula is not
Tracheostomy Complications
313
possible, the orotracheal tube should be replaced, following by posterior reposition­ing of the tracheostomy cannula [8].

Bleeding

In the early postoperative period the source of bleeding would be the same as that in the transoperative period (see Sect. 1.1). Cases of major bleeding should be surgi­cally re-explored [8].

Surgical Wound Infection

Colonization of the tracheal wound occurs within the rst 48h after surgery. The main colonizing germs are Gram positive bacteria, Pseudomonas, and Escherichia coli. Because it is an open operative wound, colonization is inevitable, but some maneuvers are important for reducing the risks of major infectious complications, such as frequent cannula replacement, removal of the tracheal ring suture, and mini­mal devascularization of peritracheostoma and tracheal tissue, avoiding lateral tra­cheal dissection.
Necrotizing stoma infection is an uncommon complication; however, it presents a high rate of serious complications such as exposure of large vessel ruptures (Fig.7). Treatment should be performed with antibiotic therapy whenever possible, guided by cultures and debridement of devitalized tissue [8].

Subcutaneous Emphysema

Accumulation of air in the subcutaneous space usually is not very serious, requiring no treatment at all. The cause of this complication may be excessive cough, a cannula without a cuff, or near-total obstruction of the skin around the cannula. Usually the treatment is cannula replacement with a cuffed cannula or correct cuff ination [8].
