A proposed novel ultrasound-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy technique - the in-plane wire-in-needle approach: study design and rationale for multicenteric randomized controlled clinical trial
Abstract:INTRODUCTIONAs Ultra Sound (US) technology continues to progress, its scope becomes only limited by the operator expertise, not the bedside US unit. With the increasing availability of bedside ultrasonography in the intensive care setting, real-time ultrasound guidance have been advocated as potential tools to further improve the safety and efficacy of the US-PDT procedure.1,2 Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging is the most commonly used guidance for needle placement during US-PDT due to its real-time natu… Show more
