Tracheotomie - Luftweg der Wahl für den langzeitbeatmeten Patienten?

Abstract: Many clinicians perform tracheotomies on the basis of expert opinion and clinical experience. So far, the benefits, however, have not been proven in large-scale randomized trials. Many of these studies suffer from design flaws, insufficient randomization and the absence of blinding. On the other hand, the lack of positive results do not rule out that tracheotomy may be beneficial for the ventilator-dependent patient. Percutaneous tracheotomy procedures may be superior to conventional surgical tracheotomies. Lo… Show more

“…Rodriguez states that early tracheotomy reduces the length of hospital stay and stay in the intensive care unit and reduces the number of days for which patients are ventilated, resulting in cost saving [3]. Other authors postulate that patients who require controlled long-term ventilation for more than 36 h should be tracheotomised within a period of 36 h, or earlier when it is apparent within the first 24 h that the patient will require intubation for several days [18]. Various authors consider that early tracheotomy reduces the duration of the weaning process and increases the patient's ventilation tolerance.…”

“…Reintubation following failed extubation is, however, according to Epstein associated with increased mortality, increased tracheotomy rate, increased length of hospital stay and thus higher costs [7]. Klockgether-Radke [18] summarise that the decision to tracheotomise patients receiving long-term ventilation is based more on experience than on specific data, and that meta-analysis has failed to show that patients undergoing early tracheotomy are easier to wean from mechanical ventilation.…”

“…Die Intensivmediziner und Anästhesiologen haben in den letzten Jahren durch die perkutane Dilatationstracheotomie viel neues Know-how in die Atemwegssicherung bei langzeitbeatmeten Intensivpatienten gebracht. Die wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen in diesem Zusammenhang sind aber längst nicht alle geklärt [7]. Wie steht es mit der Langzeitprognose tracheotomierter Patienten?…”
