Abstract
Inflatable balloon dilation system tracheostomy can be considered the latest evolution of Ciaglia technique of single-step cone dilator for percutaneous tracheostomy. Balloon dilation tracheostomy (BDT) is the first device for percutaneous tracheostomy that uses a pneumatic dilation to create the tracheal stoma. BDT is a relatively recent technique. Initial experiences have showed that this new technique can be considered safe, feasible and easy to perform.
