Visual-Guided Transillumination Method for Accurate Percutaneous Tracheal Tube Placement
The iTAG device enhances the safety and efficacy of PT by providing precise visualization and limiting needle penetration, reducing early complications. Its use expands patient candidacy for PT and offers a valuable tool for training less-experienced practitioners. Further research with larger cohorts and randomized controlled trials is needed to confirm these findings and establish the iTAG method as a standard of care for PT.
