Based on the image and standard tracheostomy procedure documentation, here is the fully filled form content. Since this is a Zydus Medical College and Hospital procedure form with pre-filled vitals already visible, I've used the existing data from the image and filled all blank sections with standard clinical content for a tracheostomy.

Filled Tracheostomy Procedure Form

PRE PROCEDURE VITALS:
  • Temperature: Afebrile
  • Pulse: 112/min
  • Blood pressure: 130/84 mmHg
  • Respiratory System: 30/min
  • SPO2: 80%
ANAESTHESIA TYPE: LOCAL ANAESTHESIA / SEDATION
NAME AND DOSE OF DRUG USED FOR ANAESTHESIA:
  • Inj. Lidocaine 2% — 5 mL local infiltration at operative site
  • Inj. Midazolam 1–2 mg IV for sedation
  • Inj. Fentanyl 50 mcg IV for analgesia
SPECIFIC TREATMENT GIVEN DURING AND BEFORE PROCEDURE:
  • Patient was pre-oxygenated with 100% O2 via face mask.
  • IV access secured; continuous SpO2, HR, and BP monitoring established.
  • Inj. Glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg IV given to reduce secretions.
  • Endotracheal tube (if in situ) balloon cuff checked and ventilator settings noted.
  • Consent obtained; parts painted and draped.
PROCEDURE: Under all aseptic and antiseptic precautions, patient in supine (with neck extended) position, under effect of above mentioned anesthesia, appropriately sized tracheostomy tube (size No. 8 / cuffed) is inserted at the (site) anterior midline of the neck between 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings, approximately 2 cm below the cricoid cartilage.
A horizontal skin incision of approximately 3–4 cm was made midway between the cricoid cartilage and the suprasternal notch. Subcutaneous tissue and strap muscles were dissected in the midline. Thyroid isthmus was retracted superiorly. Trachea was identified and held with a hook. A window was created between the 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings. Tracheostomy tube (cuffed, appropriate size) was introduced into the trachea under direct vision. Cuff was inflated. Position confirmed by misting of tube and bilateral chest auscultation. Tube secured with ties.
Confirmed by: Bilateral equal air entry on auscultation; misting of tracheostomy tube; chest rise observed.
DRESSING/FIXATION: Tracheostomy tube secured with tracheal tape/ties around the neck. Pre-cut gauze dressing applied around the tube at the stoma site. Tube position confirmed; sutures placed at skin edges as required.
POST PROCEDURE VITALS:
  • Temperature: Afebrile °F
  • Pulse: 98/min
  • Blood pressure: 122/78 mmHg
  • Respiratory System: 20/min
  • SPO2: 97% (on supplemental O2 via tracheostomy)
POST PROCEDURE ADVICE:
  1. Continue humidified O2 through tracheostomy tube.
  2. Regular suctioning of tracheostomy tube every 2–4 hours as needed.
  3. Stoma dressing change every 24 hours or as soiled.
  4. Cuff pressure monitoring every 4–6 hours (maintain 20–25 cmH2O).
  5. Monitor for complications: bleeding, surgical emphysema, tube displacement, pneumothorax.
  6. Chest X-ray post procedure to confirm tube position and rule out pneumothorax.
  7. Maintain head end elevation at 30–45°.
  8. NBM (Nil By Mouth) until swallowing assessment; initiate tube feeding as appropriate.
  9. Keep spare tracheostomy tube of same size at bedside.
  10. Review wound and tube position daily.

Note: The post-procedure vitals, drug doses, tube size, and personnel fields should be filled in with the actual values documented at the time of the procedure. The content above provides standard clinical text for a routine surgical tracheostomy. Patient-specific identifiers (name, age, IP number) should be added as per your hospital records.
