A standard tube versus the ultra-narrow Tritube® during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: a randomized trial comparing droplet spread, complications, and duration

Key Points

This research aims to compare the efficacy and safety of the Tritube® and standard tube during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy.
Conducted a randomized trial comparing both techniques
Measured droplet spread and complication rates
Assessed procedure duration for each technique
The Tritube® resulted in fewer complications compared to the standard tube
Procedure time was shorter with the Tritube®
Reduced droplet contamination was observed with the Tritube®

Abstract

Tritube® and the FCV approach may offer technique-specific advantages such as shorter procedure time, fewer complications, and less droplet contamination. Our findings suggest that this technique may be a promising ventilation strategy in PDT procedures.
