Aim: It was aimed to compare the results of using endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask for airway safety in percutaneous tracheostomy applications. Methods: The results of using ETT and LMA in percutaneous tracheostomy applications in Adıyaman Training and Research Hospital between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. 170 patients were identified. 4 patients were excluded from the study due to missing information. Results: Of the 166 patients included in the study, 76 were female and 90 were male. It was most frequently performed in patients with a diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident. (44%) Tracheostomy was successful in all patients, minor bleeding was detected in 20 patients and a second attempt was detected in 21 patients. The duration of tracheostomy procedure was found to be significantly shorter in the LMA group (p < 0.05). The length of hospital stay was significantly higher in the ETT group than in the LMA group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It has been determined that the use of LMA in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy applications shortens the procedure time, increases the success of the procedure and is associated with fewer complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
