Postoperative Inflammation and Recovery After Tracheostomy

Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effect of Percutaneous Dilatation Tracheostomy Compared to Open Surgical Tracheostomy on Postoperative Inflammation, Pulmonary Function, Peri- and Postoperative Complications and Physical Mobilization.

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to examine if there are differences in postoperative inflammation following percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy versus surgical tracheostomy in intensive care unit patients.

Detailed description

Are there differences between the two arms in plasma concentrations of inflammatory mediators (TNF-alfa, interleukin 1, 6, 10) at 24 hrs following the start of the surgical procedure? Are there differences between the two arms in the incidence of postoperative complications (i.e. bleeding, incidence of stomal infections, tracheal tube dislocation, airway compromisation), postoperative pulmonary infection (during the stay in the ICU) and pulmonary function (FEV1, dynamic complicance, oxygen demand, time to weaning off the ventilator: all measured daily during the ICU-stay), postoperative mobilization (time to mobilization to sitting, standing and walking, respectively)?
