Abstract
- Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is an increasingly popular method with several advantages, such as being able to perform at bedside with a simple kit, with a less number of medical staff and less amount of time. PDT is easier to perform, offers less bleeding risks and post-operative infection rates compared to conventional surgical tracheotomy. However, PDT is being performed more in the pulmonology and intensive care medicine than in otolaryngology. Herein, we introduce PDT and share our experiences, hoping otolaryngologists use our procedure more.
