AB  - Percutaneous  dilatational  tracheostomy  (PDT)  is  one  of  the  most  commonly  performed  ICU  procedures.  For  clinicians  performing  PDT,  knowledge  of  the  pertinent  anatomy,  the  ideal  population  for  PDT,  techniques  of  the  percutaneous  method,  potential  complications,  and  postprocedural  tracheostomy  care  are  crucial  to  assure  excellent  patient  care.  As  this  book  is  directed  to  the  EM  intensivist,  this  chapter  will  focus  on  PDT  for  the  nonsurgeon.
