  • Title: [Fiber optic tracheoscopy in percutaneous dilation tracheostomy].
    Author: Simonsen MS, Jensen RH, Rodt SA.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1998 Aug 03; 160(32):4654-5. PubMed ID: 9719750.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) was performed on a 64 year-old female multitraumatised patient. Because of difficulties during the procedure, fiberoptic tracheoscopy was carried out and revealed perforation and dilatation of the endotracheal tube. The error was corrected with little loss of time, and no complications were observed after finishing the procedure. We recommend the use of routine fiberoptic tracheoscopy during and after percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy as suggested by Ciaglia et al (2).
