The objective of the present work was to study the possibility and technical peculiarities of planned tracheotomy in the hematological patients with thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy suffering severe concomitant pathology. A total of 45 tracheotomies were performed in hematological patients during the period from 2009 till July 2012. The case histories of 32 patients were available for the retrospective analysis. At the time of surgical intervention, 81% of the patients presented with grade IV thrombocytopenia. Five of the patients (15.6%) suffered bleeding from the tracheostomic canal in the early postoperative period. In four of them, hemorhage was stopped by the placement of the hemostatic sponge. One patient had to be managed by means of cauterization . Two (6.25%) patients developed inflammation around tracheotsoma. It is concluded that thrombocytopenia and probable coagulopathy do not constitute an absolute contraindication for planned tracheostomy. However, such operation may have a favourable outcome only after preliminary transfusion, the application of cauterization, and delicate surgical intervention.
