Popis:	In this chapter we will review and discuss the percutaneous dilational tracheotomy (PDT) approach in cardiac surgery patients who need prolonged mechanical ventilation. Available data were located regarding the technique, timing, advantages and complications of the PDT. We also underlined the utility of bronchoscopy control during the procedure. We describe also our experience performing PDT with bronchoscopy control procedure on patients admitted to Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU) patients. In our CTICU we have a long-term experience of tracheotomy with bronchoscopy control that yields better clinical practice and outcome.
