Abstract
A number of percutaneous tracheostomy (PDT) techniques have been developed across the years. The different techniques and devices appeared largely equivalent, with the exception of retrograde tracheostomy. Conventionally, the airway management during PDT has been managed by a single lumen endotracheal tube (ETT). PDT may be performed with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) if the operators are confident with this procedure. LMA may overcome the problem of accidental extubation during PDT because it is stably cuffed during the procedure. Double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLET) for PDT has been recently proposed by literature. DLET is divided in an upper channel, for placement of bronchoscope, and a lower channel exclusively dedicated to patients’ ventilation.
