ABSTRACT
Tracheostomy is a procedure that is useful for the release of mechanical ventilation, as well as to improve the management of secretions in patients with mechanical ventilation , sometimes patients find themselves with various infusions of drugs such as sedation, vasopressors that make it difficult to Transfer of the patient to the operating room, for which it is of the utmost importance to perform surgical procedures within the intensive care units to provide timely treatment without the complications that are generated with the transfer. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy is a safe procedure with high rates of puncture efficacy and low major complications. In most institutions, tracheostomy is performed with the open technique and requires transfer of the patient to the operating room. With the implementation of ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy, this procedure can be done at the patient's bedside.REFERENCES
