Use of High-Frequency Jet Ventilation During Percutaneous Tracheostomy

Seventy five patients between 18-80 years of age who were hospitalized in intensive care unit were included in the study. The number of patients will be finalized by power analysis. whose written consent cannot be obtained and who undergo surgical tracheostomy for any reason will be excluded from the study. In addition, patients with active infection in the area of the procedure, bleeding diathesis and pathologies that interfere with the procedure in the ultrasonographic evaluation (thyroid diseases, etc.) will be excluded from the study. Patients will be divided into three groups as those using classical ventilation (group 1), HFJV (group 2) and classical laryngeal mask (group 3). Age, gender, height, BMI, ASA scores, presence and type of additional diseases, tracheostomy day, pre- and post-procedure blood gas analysis, duration of procedure, duration of anesthesia, complications during the procedure (bleeding , desaturation, accidental extubation, malposition, bradycardia, hypotension, etc.) will be recorded. Patients will be observed for mortality in the first 30 days after the procedure. Mortality results will be recorded.
