Objectives: This study describes an intradermal injection technique for reducing bleeding during a percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy (PDT).
Methods: Fifty-two consecutively recruited patients who underwent PDTs were analysed in a prospective study that was conducted between May 2019 and January 2020. This is a prospective study and fifty-two patients who underwent PDT were recruited from May 2019 to January 2020. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The patients in the observation group accepted the execution of the intradermal injection technique during their local anaesthesia. A comparison was made between the two groups’ intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding, operation time and length of incision.
Results: A total of 52 patients were enrolled in this study, 33 males (63.5%) and 19 females. The mean age was 63.0±9.9 years, with the patients’ age ranging from 45 to 80 years. The mean BMI was 29.2±5.1 kg/m2. There was no significant difference in gender, age, BMI index and whether they had an endotracheal tube between the two groups (P > 0.05). The observation group’s intraoperative bleeding was less than that of control group (χ2 = 8.308, P = 0.009). There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups (t = -0.904, P = 0.372). There was no PDT-related death.
Conclusion: The intradermal injection technique can be used to effectively and safely reduce bleeding during PDTs. This technique provides a lower intraoperative bleeding grade without increased the procedure’s duration.
