surveillance for any potential immediate complications, as well as confirma­tion of proper positioning of the tracheostomy tube. Although some controversy regarding PDT may still linger, numerous large series have been reported with comparable rates of complications.
The criteria for PDT are more stringent than for surgical tracheotomy (Couch & Bhatti, 2002; see Table 2.4). The laryngotracheal framework should be easily palpable through the skin. It is critically important that the patient’s neck easily extends and that the patient can be easily reintubated in case of accidental decannulation. Obese patients, children, and those with abnormal coagulation are not candidates for this procedure. Clinicians performing PDT should be well trained in the technique, prepared to convert to an open surgical tracheotomy if needed, and ready to manage any immediate complications.
For this procedure, the patient is positioned and draped as for standard, open tracheotomy. A skin incision is made and the pretracheal tissue cleared with minimal blunt dissection. The endotracheal tube is withdrawn until the cuff is just at the level of the glottis. The endoscopist can place the tip of the bronchoscope such that the light from its tip is visible through the surgical wound, thus highlighting the target area. The operator then enters the tracheal lumen below the second tracheal ring with a needle introducer (Figure 2.7A–B). A guide wire is then inserted through the needle (Figure 2.8A–B). The track extending from the skin to the tracheal lumen is then serially dilated over a guide wire (Figure 2.9A–B). A tracheostomy tube is then introduced under di­rect bronchoscopic view over the dilator (Figure 2.10A–B). Proper placement is

then confirmed by viewing the tracheobronchial tree through the tracheostomy tube, and the tube is secured into place with sutures and ties.
Pediatric Tracheotomy
As in adult tracheotomy, identifiable landmarks—including hyoid bone, thyroid notch, cricoid cartilage, thyroid isthmus, and sternal notch—are identified, and a skin incision is marked accordingly. It should be noted that these laryngotra­cheal landmarks are located relatively superiorly within the neck in the pediat­ric age group. Dissection then proceeds as in adults. Particular attention should be paid to avoid straying laterally due to the presence of the pulmonary apices within the cervical compartment in the younger age groups, which increases the risk of pleural puncture and resultant pneumothorax.
At the level of the trachea, the incision is generally made vertically through two or three tracheal rings, usually within the second to fifth tracheal rings. As in adults, an incision too close to the cricoid should be avoided, as it is associ­ated with higher rates of subglottic stenosis.
Nylon traction sutures are placed in the trachea on either side of the inci­sion line before the incision is made. These sutures serve to place traction on the tracheal rings during cannulation of the airway and are crucial in locating the tracheal window in cases of accidental tracheal displacement in the early postoperative period (Parnes & Myers, 1976). The vertical transtracheal incision should be long enough to easily allow passage of the tracheostomy tube in order to prevent undue damage to the integrity of the cartilage framework. Too small an incision or a horizontal intercartilaginous incision may lead to the collapse of the suprastomal tracheal ring as the curved tube exerts backward pressure on the ring above the incision.
After the tracheostomy tube is placed, it is secured in a similar fashion to adults. The traction sutures are tied loosely and taped to the skin of the anterior chest wall. Tape labels are used to clearly identify the right and left traction sutures so they are not reversed when used to recannulate the trachea, which would have the counterproductive effect of approximating the edges of the tra­cheal window.
The position of the tracheostomy tube with respect to the carina and tra­cheal wall can be determined via either passing a pediatric flexible endoscope through the tube or obtaining a postoperative chest radiograph. The tip of the tracheostomy tube should be 5 to 20 mm from the carina. The tube should not be so short that the lumen faces posteriorly or is at risk for exiting the tracheal window and entering a false pretracheal passage. Certain patients, such as obese children or those with metabolic storage diseases, may have excessively long tracts between the skin and trachea, requiring custom tracheotomy tubes with extra long proximal, extratracheal portions.

Postoperative Care

Postoperative care of the tracheostomy patient is considerably facilitated if there has been preoperative teaching, which helps both children and adults adapt to a new way of breathing. Family counseling is also important in order to

tensive care setting in order to continuously monitor vital signs. Indeed, subtle changes in the patient’s behavior, pulse, blood pressure, or respiratory rate may herald an obstruction of the tracheotomy tube with dried blood or secretions, which requires immediate attention. Tracheal suctioning must be performed as frequently as needed—often more frequently than would be possible outside of an ICU setting. The humidification of inhaled air is important for the mucociliary transport of secretions and to prevent the obstruction of the airway with dried se­cretions. The inner cannula must be removed frequently for cleaning and to avoid the accumulation of obstructing crusts. The tracheostomy tube is rarely changed before the third postoperative day to allow the tract to mature and to avoid tissue collapse that would seal off the airway. Tube replacement within the first 72 hours postoperatively should be done in the same conditions as the original procedure and requires adequate headlights, suction, cricoid hook, and assistance. Tube re­placement is sometimes necessary if the cuff of the tracheotomy tube fails in a patient continuing to need positive-pressure ventilation after the procedure.

Summary

In the initial postoperative period, the patient is usually placed in an in-
The surgical technique of tracheotomy should be adapted to the situation at hand, especially for patients with complicated neck anatomy, those with previ­ous tracheotomies, or pediatric patients. Attention to detail during the proce­dure will help avoid the pitfalls and complications that can plague tracheostomy patients during the postoperative period. There continues to be controversy be­tween open and percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy, but both have long track records, and application of one versus the other depends on the estab­lished practice patterns of individual clinicians.
Irrespective of the quality of intervention at the time of the procedure, long­term success and the prevention of complications depends on meticulous care during the postoperative period.

Key Points

Open surgical tracheotomy can be performed in the operating room or ■ the ICU, with bedside tracheotomies having the advantage of decreased patient transport risk, operating room cost, and schedule burden.
■
Percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy has become an important alter­native approach and is best performed under bronchoscopic guidance to identify immediate complications and confirm tube placement.
■
After the procedure, patients require continuous monitoring of vital signs and are usually placed in an ICU.

Each tracheostomy tube has a variety of features, and there are many different tracheostomy tubes to choose from. There are several manufacturers, and all offer different features, materials, lengths, inner and outer diameters, and so forth. Some have a single cannula, while others have dual cannulas—that is, both inner and outer cannulas. Some have low-pressure cuffs, and a few have high-pressure cuffs. Still others are cuffless. The choices are abundant.
Early tracheostomy tubes were composed of metal, either silver or stainless steel. Most modern tracheostomy tubes are composed of medical-grade plastics such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, silicone, or a combination. Although metal tubes are still in use today, softer materials are much more widespread. Plastic tubes have the advantages of being cheaper, lighter, easier to modify for special needs, and, depending on the material, more pliable. These softer materials have allowed for cuffs at the distal end of the tube. Metal tracheos­tomy tubes have the advantage of thinner walls, but they usually cannot be con­nected to a ventilator because they do not have cuffs (Dhand & Johnson, 2006; St. John & Malen, 2004).
