Description:
The authors concluded that elective percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is associated with significantly fewer wound infections than surgical tracheostomy in critically ill adults, and may also reduce bleeding and mortality (compared with surgical tracheostomy performed in the operating theatre). The quality of the primary studies was limited and outcome definitions differed widely. However, the review was well-conducted and these conclusions appear reliable.
