Comparison of 3 techniques in percutaneous tracheostomy: Traditional landmark technique; ultrasonography-guided long-axis approach; and short-axis approach – Randomised controlled study
2018, Anaesthesia Critical Care and Pain MedicineCitation Excerpt :In this randomised controlled study comparing 3 methods (traditional landmark, ultrasonography-guided out-of-plane and the ultrasonography-guided in-plane method) used in percutaneous tracheostomy, it was determined that the number of punctures in the patients for whom tracheostomy was opened by using the out-of-plane method was less, success at first entry was higher and complication rates were lower. Routine use of ultrasonography is used to explicitly view the tracheal rings required for the appropriate location of tracheal intervention and to verify the midline placement [6,14–16]. In the review of Alansari et al.; it was specified that the use of ultrasonography reduced the number of entries [11].
Prevalence of major vessels anterior to the trachea at sites of potential front-of-neck emergency airway access in adults

2018, Clinics in Chest MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, nonstandard tracheostomy tubes (eg, those tubes with size adjustments that fit specific anatomic variants) should be considered if patients are male with an ETT size of 8.0 or greater, and have a trachea-to-skin distance greater than 4.4 cm on a computed tomography (CT) scan.34 Ultrasound anatomy of the trachea and its surrounding structures was first described in 1995,35 and the first real-time ultrasound-guided PDT was reported in 199936 (Fig. 4). Several advantages have been proposed for the use of ultrasound in the preoperative and intraprocedural settings.
Head and neck ultrasound: Applications relevant to anesthesia and intensive care medicine
2012, Ultrasound ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Percutaneous tracheostomy is frequently performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Many complications have been reported, including hemorrhage from local vessels and tracheal stenosis due to cranial placement of the tracheostomy.4 The use of ultrasonography allows avoidance of vascular structures,4,5 identification of the midline,4,5 and identification of tracheal rings to avoid high (cranial) placement, and lowers the risk of laryngotracheal stenosis.4,6
Head and neck anatomy and ultrasound correlation
2012, Ultrasound ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Below the cricoid, the first 5 to 6 tracheal rings can be seen with gentle neck extension. Several reports of the use of high-resolution ultrasound to assist with visualization of the trachea during percutaneous tracheotomy are published.6,7 The larynx lies between the cricoid cartilage inferiorly and the hyoid bone superiorly.
