Brief Summary:

Platelet-inhibiting drugs are often used after vascular interventions. Patients who require such therapies are often critically ill, are treated in intensive care units and often require long-term ventilation. For long-term ventilation a tracheotomy is necessary, which is usually performed as a percutaneous dilatative tracheotomy (PDT). As part of this intervention, there is (theoretically) an increased risk of bleeding/an increased rate of complications in patients with a antiplatelet therapy. In addition, there are various techniques for performing a PDT.

The current study aims to investigate the frequency of bleeding/complications taking into account the technique used in PDT.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Measurement of bleeding during Percutaneous Dilational Tracheostomy (PDT) with and without antiplatelet therapy (AP). [ Time Frame: 3 days ]
    • bleeding (yes/no)
    • intervention (yes/no)
    • decrease (>= 1 g/dl) of hemoglobin (yes/no)
    • number of blood transfusion(s)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. - Does the technique of PDT affect the bleeding rate? - How often are recognizable cartilage pin fractures in the context of a PDT? - Influence of AP and PDT technology on the frequency of need for a blood transfusion? [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    cartilage pin fractures seen in endoscopy
