Peri‐operative complications during percutaneous tracheostomy in obese patients

Summary The safety of percutaneous tracheostomy in 73 obese patients (body mass index ≥ 27.5 kg.m−2) in a cohort of 474 adults was studied. Four percutaneous techniques were employed (percutaneous dilational tracheostomy, n = 48; Ciaglia Blue Rhino, n = 157; guide wire dilating forceps, n = 62, tran...

Zusammenfassung:Summary The safety of percutaneous tracheostomy in 73 obese patients (body mass index ≥ 27.5 kg.m−2) in a cohort of 474 adults was studied. Four percutaneous techniques were employed (percutaneous dilational tracheostomy, n = 48; Ciaglia Blue Rhino, n = 157; guide wire dilating forceps, n = 62, translaryngeal tracheostomy, n = 207). The overall complication rate was 43.8% (n = 32) in the obese group compared to 18.2% (n = 73) in the control group (p
