Percutaneous tracheostomy with Grigss dilating forceps technique: Retrospective analysis of 60 intensive care patients

Abstract

Aim: In this study we aimed to present retrospective study the procedure time and early complications of the percutaneous tracheotomies with Griggs technique between January 1st 2010- December 31th 2012 in the Intensive Care Unit of Erzurum Palandöken State Hospital. Materials and Methods: Sixty adult patients were included the study and assessed retrospectively. Primary diagnosis, age, sex and intubation time of the patients were recorded, before the procedure. The procedure was performed using percutaneous tracheostomy kit (Portex, Blueline Ultra Smiths Medical, North America). The procedure time, early complications (minor bleeding, major bleeding, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, false passage, hypoxia and mortality), mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit duration time and the patient status at discharge from the hospital were recorded. Tracheostomy was performed by using fiberoptic bronchoscopy (Olympus BF-TE2 Treviso, İtaly) in 20 cases. Results: The mean procedure time was 6.08±2.9 minutes. The early complications were minor bleeding in three patients (5%), major bleeding in one patient (1,66%), pneumothorax in one patient (1,66%) and false passage in one patient (1.66%). Conclusion: We concluded that percutaneous tracheostomy with Griggs technique is performed in a short time at the bedside and had a low complication ratio.
