Training for tracheostomy

Abstract

event when the turning of the head towards the ipsilateral side as the lower jaw touches the anterior chest wall will not work effectively, the catheter can be easily pulled back and be re-inserted. We would support the development of this technology in two sectors: to increase the production and potential cost reduction, and the development of sensors that can be re-sterilized.

Development of a comprehensive Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy process model for procedural training: A Delphi‐based experts consensus

“…The structured literature search retrieved 14 articles focusing on PDT or cricothyroidotomy descriptions. The median number of activities present in each description was 18 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Representation .…”

“…The structured literature search retrieved 14 articles focusing on PDT or cricothyroidotomy descriptions. The median number of activities present in each description was 18 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] After the first Delphi round, experts proposed a total of 51 modifications to the model, with a median of 1 [1][2][3][4] per expert. Of these, 12 activities were added, 7 were modified and 3 activities' position was changed in the BPMN flowchart.…”

“…The steady increase of patients requiring MV, 13 and novel indications of tracheostomy for other clinical scenarios 14 has promoted the inclusion of PDT among competencies of non‐surgical training programs, like anesthesiology 15 and intensive care medicine 16 . Nonetheless, the effective introduction of PDT skill training in program curricula is still an ongoing issue 17,18 …”

“…16 Nonetheless, the effective introduction of PDT skill training in program curricula is still an ongoing issue. 17,18 Having an available deconstruction of a complex procedure in its constitutive steps and key decisional points has been demonstrated to be an effective instrument in procedural training, 19 including PDT. 20,21 Moreover, the high procedural variability and the scarce evidence of clinical superiority of a single technique makes it difficult to decide what to teach.…”

National survey of intensive care trainees' experience of and training in tracheostomy and laryngectomy management

“…Such patients potentially require time-critical, decisive airway management, likely involving resident intensive care clinicians. However, previous regional studies identified critical care trainees as inadequately trained and experienced to confidently manage airway emergencies in neck breathers [ 3 ].…”
