Cost Effective Percutaneous Tracheostomy-An Indian HackHospital Based Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Tracheostomy is a lifesaving procedure that is done in ICU’s. It reduces both the mortality and morbidity of patients. Slowly percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) is becoming common in hospitals catering to population of middle economic class. The major concern is related to the high cost of marketed PCT kits. We performed PCT in 40 patients in ICU in an innovative way with results similar to PCT done with standard kits thereby reducing the cost of the patient from approximately ₹8000/- to ₹500/- Our technique is now followed as a standard technique for all PCT’s done in our hospital.
