title: Bedside Tracheostomy and Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy on the Patient's Television.
abstract: Bedside surgical procedures such as percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in ICU settings are widely accepted; however, these procedures often require the addition of bulky equipment into the patient's room, which consumes valuable space and restrict workflow. A practice modification was developed in our trauma program, which reduces clutter in the patient's room, streamlines workflow, and results in better patient care and teaching. Simple and cost-effective, this has become the standard in our trauma center and could be of benefit to other institutions as well.
