Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application value of 0.9% sodium chloride injection for a balloon catheter in bedside Doppler ultrasound-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in critically ill patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted involving 54 critically ill patients who were scheduled for tracheostomy at the Intensive Care Medicine, Jilin Province People's Hospital, from September 2022 to April 2024. These patients were randomly divided into a conventional group ( n = 27) and an ultrasound group ( n = 27) using the random number table method. The conventional group underwent empirical extubation, while the ultrasound group received extubation guided by a balloon catheter filled with 0.9% sodium chloride injection under ultrasound guidance. The following parameters were observed in both groups: duration of operation, incidence of blood oxygen saturation < 90%, incidence of puncturing the endotracheal tube or balloon catheter, distance from extubation site to the incisors, dosage of propofol, length of incision, and amount of bleeding. Results:Both groups of patients successfully completed the procedure on the first attempt, with no significant complications such as extensive bleeding, vascular injury, thyroid damage, or pneumothorax. In the ultrasound group, the incidence of puncturing the endotracheal tube or balloon catheter, duration of operation, and dosage of propofol were 3.7% (1/27), (6.2 ± 1.4) minutes, and 40 (40, 40) mg, respectively, all of which were superior to those in the conventional group [48.1% (13/27), (9.8 ± 2.7) minutes, 80 (70, 80) mg, χ2 = 23.19, t = 6.11, Z = -6.29, all P < 0.05]. The incidence of hypoxemia in the ultrasound group was 0, which was significantly lower than that in the conventional group [29.6% (8/27), P < 0.05]. The distance from extubation site to the incisors in the ultrasound group was 18 (17, 18) cm, which was significantly different from 18 cm of the conventional group ( Z = -2.62, P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in length of incision and amount of bleeding between the two groups ( P = 0.652, 0.878). Conclusion:Performing PDT under bedside Doppler ultrasound guidance with a 0.9% sodium chloride injection-filled balloon catheter in patients requiring mechanical ventilation can reduce procedure duration, lower the incidence of hypoxemia and puncturing of the endotracheal tube or balloon catheter, decrease the use of sedative medications, and enhance the accuracy and safety of the procedure.
