[Improved technique of dilatation tracheostomy and initial results].
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy is a simple bedside procedure and can be performed with a minimum of time and staff. Tears in the posterior wall of the trachea and paratracheal displacement of the tube are possible complications. ⋯ As a severe complication we noted bleeding from a vein with lethal blood aspiration in one case. Bleeding during dilatational tracheostomy procedure requires changing of technique and dissection of the anterior wall of the trachea.

Case Reports[Complications caused by patient positioning in unidentified "thoracic outlet syndrome"].
Following a 3-hour surgery of his left leg, a 22 year old male patient suffered paralysis and burning pain in his left forearm with numbness of his 3rd, 4th and 5th finger. During the following days the symptoms diminished spontaneously. The explanation is an ischaemia due to the positioning during the operation in presence of an unknown thoracic outlet syndrome. Diagnostic procedure and prophylaxis of the disease are discussed.
