Aim: To evaluate the effects of surgical and percutaneous tracheotomy on thyroid hormones.
Material And Method: Sixty patients with respiratory problems who underwent surgical tracheotomy and percutaneous tracheotomy between December 2012 and December 2016 were divided into 2 groups. FT3, FT4, thyroglobulin and TSH levels of the groups were statistically evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: The effects of surgical and percutaneous tracheotomy on free thyroxin (FT4), serum thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were found to be statistically significant. Although free triiodothyronine (FT3) slightly elevated in both groups, it was not statistically significant.
Discussion: Today, percutaneous tracheotomy (PCT) and conventional surgical tracheotomy (CT) have been widely used in intensive care units on patients who are expected to be connected to mechanical ventilation for a long time. Because of the anatomy of the surgical site, tracheotomy may cause damage to the adjacent thyroid gland and tracheal rings CONCLUSION: Surgeons should keep in mind that serum thyroid hormone levels may increase postoperatively. Particularly the patients with cardiac rhythm problems should be followed after surgical and percutaneous tracheotomy due to the systemic effects of thyroid hormones.
Key Words: Tracheotomy, Thyroid hormones.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of early tracheotomy in neurologic critical care patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 patients with severe craniocerebral injury (SCI) who underwent percutaneous tracheotomy at The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2021 to February 2022. Of them, 52 cases (observation group) received the procedure within 24 hours of injury, while 48 patients (control group) received the procedure after 24 hours.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that still has to be primarily treated symptomatically or palliatively. It is therefore all the more important, in addition to initiating treatment, such as percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), noninvasive ventilation therapy (NIVT) and invasive ventilation therapy via tracheotomy (IVT), to discuss the possible termination of these measures early on.
Question: What is the importance of advance directives for those affected and where are possible deficits in therapy planning for the end of life?
Material And Method: Between March 2017 and January 2019 patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of ALS at six treatment centers were asked to fill out a questionnaire.
A Comprehensive Systematic Review on Functional Results, Speech and Swallowing Outcomes after Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Cancer.
J Clin Med
October 2024
Otolaryngology Head and Neck Unit, "Santo Spirito" Hospital, 65124 Pescara, Italy.
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is nowadays considered a valuable minimally invasive approach to treat oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The aim of this technique is to improve functional preservation and reduce morbidity with excellent oncologic outcomes compared to the traditional transoral approach and chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The purpose of this systematic review is to assess an exhaustive overview of functional outcomes of TORS for OPSCC by evaluating several parameters reported in the available literature, such as the prevalence and dependence of tracheotomy, feeding tubes (FTs) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), the length of hospitalization, swallowing scores, speech tests and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires.

Background: This systematic review investigated the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy (TORS-SGL) for cT1-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Methods: Two investigators conducted an updated PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library systematic review for studies investigating the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL using the PRISMA statements. The bias analysis was conducted with the MINORS.

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a quick surgical method to create an artificial airway, but existing endotracheal tubes can complicate the procedure in ICU patients.
- Medical staff at the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou developed a patented laryngeal mask and monitoring device to assist in safely withdrawing endotracheal tubes during PDT without risking airway emergencies.
- This new device provides real-time monitoring of the tracheal catheter withdrawal, ensuring patient safety while being user-friendly and efficient for medical personnel.
