Abstract

Objectives: Pediatric tracheostomy has undergone notable changes and percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) has taken place of surgical tracheostomy. The aim of this study is to show a facilitation in a previously described technique.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 35 patients who underwent PT was performed. Demographic data of the children and outcomes of the procedures were analyzed.

Results: Among total of 35 children, there were 14 girls and 21 boys. Mean age was 54.8 months (2-207) and mean weight was 15.8 kg (3-42). The mean follow up time was 11.4 (1-22 months). There were no complications intraoperatively or in early postoperative period (1 week).

Conclusion: Cannula placement through a frozen feeding tube is a new and facilitating method in rigid bronchoscopy guided tracheostomy cannula placement in children.
