Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy Monitoring During Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial. The FIBERTRACH Randomized Clinical Trial

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in reducing complication rates during tracheostomy procedures.
• Conducted as a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
• Assigned critically ill patients to receive either endoscopic guidance or standard procedure during tracheostomy.
• Compared complication rates between the two groups.
• No significant difference in complication rates between the endoscopic guidance group and the control group.
