Tracheostomy in the critically ill: indications, timing and techniques

Abstract: Due to increased experience and advanced techniques, percutaneous tracheostomy has become a popular, relatively safe procedure in the intensive care unit. The question of appropriate timing, however, has not been definitely answered with a randomized controlled trial. Instead, a number of retrospective studies and a single prospective study have shed some light on this issue. Most reports favor the performance of tracheostomy within 10 days of respiratory failure.

“…Es una técnica indicada en los casos que precisan ventilación mecánica prolongada o cuando se requiere asegurar la permeabilidad de la vía aérea, estando asociada a una población de pacientes que se encuentra entre los que consumen una mayor cantidad de recursos sanitarios 18,19 . En comparación con la intubación translaríngea, la TRQ presenta potenciales ventajas: mejor tolerancia, mayor confort con menores requerimientos de analgesia y sedación, mayor seguridad de la vía aérea, reducción del espacio muerto y de la resistencia al flujo, mayor eficacia de las broncoaspiraciones, menores problemas fonatorios, acortamiento en el tiempo de "weaning" y de ventilación mecánica, capacidad de ingesta oral, menor frecuencia de neumonía nosocomial, y capacidad de transferir antes a los pacientes fuera de la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), si bien no está definitivamente establecido que influya en la evolución clínica y la supervivencia de los pacientes en ventilación mecánica 5,13,16,20,23,32 . Aunque actualmente se considera que la realización de TRQ en la UCI es un procedimiento seguro, también puede conducir a serias complicaciones como la colonización bronquial o neumonía y la estenosis traqueal 10,16,29 .…”
