Abstract

Aim: The study’s objective was to determine whether laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use in percutaneous tracheostomy applications is superior compared to classic endotracheal tube (ETT) use.

Methods: The study comprised patients who had percutaneous tracheostomy at Adıyaman Training and Research Hospital between 2013 and 2018. The patients were separated into two groups those who used ETT for airway management (group E) and those who used LMA instead of ETT (group L) during PT application. 4 patients were excluded from the study due to the lack of data from the 170 patient files obtained. The diagnosis for intensive care unit admission, age, gender, length of hospital stay, length of the procedure, number of attempts, complications, and mortality were compared between the two groups.

Results: Of the 166 patients involved in the study, 76 were female and 90 were male. All patients underwent successful tracheostomy procedures, but 20 patients had minimal bleeding, and 21 patients had a second attempt. The duration of the tracheostomy procedure was found to be significantly shorter in group L (p<0.05). In comparison to group E, group L had a significantly longer hospital stay (p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was considered that the use of LMA in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy applications reduces the duration of the surgery. However, there is no significant difference between the use of ETT and LMA in terms of procedural success and complication rates.

Perkütan dilatasyonel trakeostomi uygulamasında laringeal maske havayolu ile endotrakeal tüp kullanımının karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Perkütan trakeostomi uygulamalarında laringeal maske kullanımının klasik endotrakeal tüp kullanımına üstünlüğünün olup olmadığının incelenmesi amaçlandı.

Yöntemler: 2013-2018 yılları arasında Adıyaman Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde perkütan trakeostomi uygulanmış olan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar PT uygulaması sırasında havayolu yönetiminde ETT kullanılanlar (grup E) ve ETT yerine LMA kullanılanlar (grup L)olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Ulaşılan 170 hasta dosyasından 4 hasta eksik bilgiler nedeni ile çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Hastaların yoğun bakıma yatış tanıları, yaş, cinsiyet, hastanede yatış süresi,işlem süresi, deneme sayısı, komplikasyonlar ve mortalite durumu kaydedilerek her iki grup arasında kıyaslandı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 166 hastanın 76’sı kadın ve 90’ı erkek olarak tespit edildi. Tüm hastalarda trakeostomi başarılı olup 20 hastada minör kanama ve 21 hastada 2. deneme tespit edildi. Trakeostomi işlem süresi grup L’de anlamlı düzeyde daha kısa olarak bulundu (p < 0.05). Grup L’de hastanede yatış süresi grup E’den anlamlı (p < 0.05) olarak daha yüksekti.

Sonuç: Perkütan dilatasyonel trakeostomi uygulamalarında LMA kullanımının işlem süresini kısalttığı ancak işlem başarısı ve komplikasyon oranları açısından ETT kullanımı ile anlamlı bir farklılığı olmadığını düşünmekteyiz.
