      abstract = {This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive  overview on percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) in critically  ill patients. The various PT techniques that may be  employed in the intensive care unit are fully described,  with discussion of the available tracheostomy tubes and  selection criteria and with clear evaluation of the risks  and benefits of each procedure. A further individual  chapter is devoted to the methods of airway management that  may be used during PT. Detailed attention is also paid to  medical and nursing management inside and outside hospital,  to quality of life issues in tracheostomized patients, and  to the problem of informed consent. The book concludes by  addressing the need for standard guidelines. Percutaneous  Tracheostomy in Critically Ill Patients will be an  excellent source of information and guidance for novice and  more experienced physicians working in intensive care  units, operating rooms, and emergency departments as well  as for those responsible for patient aftercare. .},
