Percutaneous dilational tracheostomies have a significant role for patients in the ICU with potential benefits including weaning from mechanical ventilation and improved comfort.

Dr. Elliott Bertram-Ralph, an ICM/Anaesthesia Consultant at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester, UK, delves into the practice of percutaneous tracheostomies in the intensive care setting. With a focus on elective tracheostomies for patients under prolonged mechanical ventilation, Dr. Bertram-Ralph provides a comprehensive overview of the medical rationale, procedure techniques, and post-operative care associated with this critical intervention.

Drawing on his extensive experience and the latest medical literature, he offers insights into the clinical benefits of tracheostomies, including improved patient comfort, shorter ICU stays, and the psychological advantages of enhancing patient communication.
