Ultrasound and Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction Angio-Computed Tomography Scan for Hybrid Surgical Tracheostomy in Patient with Abnormal Neck Vascularization

Résumé fourni par la source

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is a common and safe ICU procedure. However, neck anatomy variations can cause bleeding. Pre-procedural ultrasound should be carried out to detect abnormalities in neck structures. A 3D image reconstruction angio-computed tomography scan of the epiaortic vessels should be performed for precise planning of actions. We describe a hybrid tracheostomy technique required following an anomalous vascularization of the neck discovered preoperatively by echography and imaging method.
