Article Abstract
Background: Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is increasingly used in intensive care units owing to its advantages of reduced surgical trauma and fewer complications. Recently, ultrasonography has become a potentially useful tool for assisting PDT.
Objective: To compare ultrasound- and landmark-guided PDT for major bleeding, first-puncture success rates, periprocedural complications, and tracheotomy procedure times.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or non-RCTs comparing ultrasound- and landmark-guided PDT were searched for in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed). The primary outcomes were major bleeding and first puncture success rate. Secondary outcomes were periprocedural complications and the tracheotomy procedure time. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.
Results: This meta-analysis included five RCTs and one non-RCT, with a total of 609 patients. Compared with landmark-guided PDT, ultrasound-guided PDT can reduce the incidence of major bleeding (odds ratio [OR] = 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI; 0.14, 0.90], P = 0.03) and improved the success rate of first puncture (OR = 4.41, 95% CI [2.54, 7.65], P < 0.000001). Additionally, ultrasound-guided PDT is associated with a lower incidence of periprocedural complications (OR = 0.35, 95% CI [0.22, 0.54], P < 0.00001). However, there was no advantage in reducing the tracheotomy procedure time between the two methods (mean difference = - 0.64, 95% CI [-4.14, 2.85], P = 0.72).
Conclusion: Compared to landmark-guided PDT, ultrasound-guided PDT can reduce the incidence of major bleeding and periprocedural complications and increase the success rate of the first puncture. However, the advantage of ultrasound-guided PDT in reducing the tracheotomy procedure time is unclear.

Background And Aims: To overcome the procedure-related complications associated with landmark-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) ultrasound is emerging as a promising tool. Present study was designed to compare landmark-guided PDT and ultrasound-guided PDT in terms of efficiency, efficacy, and accuracy.
Material And Methods: Hundred intensive care unit patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation were prospectively randomized into 2 groups of 50 patients each.

Background: There are studies comparing USG guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) with bronchoscopy guided PDT. We have compared USG guided PDT to conventional landmark guided PDT using bronchoscopy in both the groups.
Objective: The primary outcome was the time of procedure and the secondary outcome was incidence of complications in USG guided PDT in comparision to the conventional PDT.

Introduction: Percutaneous dilational tracheostomy (PDT) is a common and increasingly used procedure in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is usually performed with bronchoscopy guidance. Ultrasound has emerged as a useful tool in order to assist PDT, potentially improving its success rate and reducing procedural-related complications.

Objective: A systematic review to examine the safety and efficacy of ultrasound before and/or during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT).
Methods: Systematic searches of MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were undertaken to identify trials reporting on safety and efficacy of using ultrasound guidance before and/or during PDT.
Results: Ultrasound before PDT: no controlled trials; two observational studies suggested a possible benefit in avoiding serious complications by identifying vulnerable vascular structures.
