Broncoflex – Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy

Broncoflex – PDT

Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a commonly performed procedure in critically sick patients. It can be safely performed bedside by intensivists. It consists of the insertion of a cannula into the trachea following prolonged intubation or after a failed attempt to withdraw mechanical ventilation.

In this video, you can see a wire guide inserted through the outer catheter end to the trachea, to the level of the carina.

The single-use bronchoscope, Broncoflex Agile is used to visualize the all procedure.
