Methods A total of 120 patients with critical diseases and obesity undergoing tracheotomy from July 2006 to August 2011 were retrospectively reviewed,and divided into advanced age group(aged 80-99 years,n=60) and control group(aged 60-79 years,n=60).Surgery time,operation preparation,surgery skill and complication after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 60 patients undergoing tracheotomy were successfully performed by relative surgery skills according to characteristics of critical obesity in advanced age group.There was 1 case (1.7%) and 0 case with trachea cannula exodus,3 cases (5.0%) and 4 cases(6.7%) with cuff leak,4 cases (6.6%) and 3 cases(5.0%) with stoma bleeding,5 cases (8.3%) and 7 cases (11.4%) with subcutaneous emphysema in advanced age and control groups,respectively.Total complication rate was similar between the two groups of patients [13 cases (21.7%) vs.14 cases (23.3%),x2 =1.00,P>0.05].
