Complications of this procedure are primarily related to the lack of direct visualization during tracheostomy tube placement and to poor patient selection. To report the utility of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy with bronchoscopic guidance in 162 critically ill patients. Mortality rates and complications associated with this technique. Twenty-five patients (15.4%) died while hospitalized. No deaths were related to tracheostomy. There were four (2.5%) major complications: one pneumothorax and three posterior tracheal tears, which healed spontaneously. There were five (3.1%) minor complications: one posterior mucosal disruption, one minor bleeding episode, and three minor episodes of cellulitis.
