Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2012
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT), especially single-step dilatational tracheostomy (sd-PDT), is now frequently preferred to surgical tracheostomy. Occasionally, it needs a second dilation maneuver .Dissection of the deep cervical fascia during PDT, known as reformative PDT (re-PDT), may facilitate the procedure. This study was designed to compare re-PDT with sd-PDT in ICU patients
