Abstract

Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) is a safe method under proper patient selection, increased technical experience and bronchoscopy- or ultrasound-guided procedure. Trauma patients with cervical spine fractures and spinal cord injury are at a high risk for respiratory failure and require a definitive airway followed by prolonged mechanical ventilation. We would like to present multiple, life- threatening complications after unsuccessful attempt of the guidewire dilating forceps tracheostomy (GWDF) in one trauma patient with a cervical spine injury. With this case report we would like to lay emphasis on the importance of continuously bronchoscopy- or ultrasound-guided PTC in trauma patients, especially with cervical spine injury, as the need to respect the steep-learning curve in its performance.

Abstract in Croatian

Perkutana traheotomija (PTC) je klinički široko prihvaćena metoda osiguravanja dišnog puta u jedinicama intenzivne skrbi. Pravilna selekcija bolesnika prema opće prihvaćenim indikacijama i anatomskim markacijama uz kontinuiranu vizualizaciju postupka bronhoskopom (ili ultrazvukom) osigurava sigurno izvo|enje svakog njegovog segmenta. Sveukupni porast tehničkoga iskustva u izvo|enju PCT neminovno doprinosi smanjenju nastanka mogućih neželjenih komplikacija. Bolesnici sa ozljedom vratne kralježnice, sa ili bez pridružene ozljede vratnoga dijela le|ne moždine čine visokorizičnu skupinu bolesnika sa pojavom produžene respiracijske insuficijencije i potrebom za mehaničkom ventilacijom kod kojih je traheotomija u većini slučajeva neizbježna. Ovim opisom kliničkog slučaja želimo prikazati nastale višestuke, po život opasne komplikacije nakon neuspješnoga pokušaja izvo|enja PCT kod politraumatiziranog bolesnika sa pridruženom povredom vratnog dijela kralježnice. Njime tako|er želimo istaći važnost kontinuirane vizualizacije cjelokupnog postupka izvo|enja PTC (bronhoskopom ili ultrazvukom) kao i poštivanja graduacije stjecanja tehničke i praktične vještine osobe kao i tima koje je izvodi.
