Summary

Between 6/88 and 8/89 61 critically ill patients (sepsis, ARDS, pneumonia, multiple trauma, etc.) underwent elective percutaneous endoscopic tracheostomy (PET). Following dilation up to 36 Fr. a number 6–10 tracheostomy tube was introduced. The patients were ventilated 17 (2–68 days) before and 28 (4–160) days after PET. One patient died from cardiac arrest, and in 4 patients, because of tube obstruction or cuff defect, reintubation was necessary. Additionally 2 signficant infections and a minor bleeding and a emphysema occured. Elective percutaneous tracheostomy performed in the ICU seems to be a simple and cost-effective procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Zwischen 6/88 und 8/89 wurden bei 61 intensivstationspflichtigen Patienten (Sepsis, ARDS, Pneumonie, Trauma, etc.) eine elective perkutane endoskopische Tracheostomie (PET) durchgeführt. Unter endoskopischer Kontrolle wurde nach Dilatierung bis 36 Ch. eine 6–8 mm Tracheoflexkanüle eingebracht. Die Patienten wurden 17 (2–68) Tage vor und 28 (4–160) Tage nach PET beatmet. 1 Patient verstarb an einem Herzstillstand unmittelbar nach PET. Bei 4 Patienten war eine Umintubation wegen Tubusverlegung oder Cuffdefekt erforderlich. Zudem kam es zu 2 signifikanten Infekten und zu je einer Blutung und Emphysementstehung. Die elektive auf der Intensivstation durchgeführte PET erscheint eine simple, sichere und kostengünstige Methode darzustellen.
