Introduction and Purpose: The application of percutaneous tracheotomy(PT) is often preferred in intensive care units with advantages such as short-term application on the bed and less bleeding, as well as prolonged artificial respiratory need, facilitation of "weaning", providing emergency airway. Therapy is an alternative method. In this study, our goal is to analyze the trakeotomies opened in the last 4 years in terms of the date of application, time of application and post-application complications. Method: From 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2010, 132 of the 603 incidents treated in our YBU were analyzed with percutaneous tracheotomy. The application of percutaneous trakeotomy was carried out by the individual with the griggs technique. Demographic data, application day, total mechanical ventilation day, application time and post-application complications were recorded. The findings: 132 of the 603 cases followed and treated in the last 4 years in our YBU have been applied in this period. The female-man ratio is 62/70, the average age of cases is 58.65±17.22 years, the average hospital stay time of cases is 38.77±28.74 days, the average entubation time before the tracheotomy practice is 8.20±5.44 days, the total mechanical ventilation time is 26.85±21.70 days, and the average operation time is 6.1±2.1 minutes. 86 people were killed due to their comorbidities. 46 cases were transferred to related services. Total complications (8 facts) were recorded. The result: the prolonged mechanical ventilation need in the YBU, facilitating weaning, providing emergency airway, is a simple, low complication rate and minimal entrepreneurial application.
