The value of cough peak flow measurements in the assessment of extubation or decannulation readiness.
Insufficient cough strength has a major role in extubation and decannulation outcomes. Cough capacity can be easily evaluated by measuring flows during coughing. Values vary depending on whether cough flows are measured through the mouth or through a tracheostomy or endotracheal tube. It is important to standardize these measurements and start using them routinely in the extubation and decannul...
متن کاملOne-Stage Decannulation Procedure for Patients Undergoing Oral and Oropharyngeal Oncological Surgeries and Prophylactic Tracheotomy
Objective: Decannulation of patients with tracheotomy usually requires decrease in tracheostomy tube size, capping for 24-48 hours and observation after tube removal. Delay in decannulation may increase cardiopulmonary load, prolong hospitalization and cause patient distress. We propose a one-stage procedure in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting for patients undergoing head and neck surgeries...
متن کاملCriteria for extubation and tracheostomy tube removal for patients with ventilatory failure. A different approach to weaning.
The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare parameters that might predict successful translaryngeal extubation and tracheostomy tube decannulation. Irrespective of ventilatory function, 62 extubation/decannulation attempts were made on 49 consecutive patients with primarily neuromuscular ventilatory insufficiency who satisfied criteria. Thirty-four patients required 24-h ventilatory ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Medical records for pediatric patients (age 0-18 years) undergoing tracheotomy between January 1, 2003, and May 31, 2012, we...
متن کاملTracheotomy tube placement in children following cardiothoracic surgery: indications and outcomes.
PURPOSE To review the indications for and outcomes of children requiring tracheotomy tube placement following cardiothoracic surgery, charts were reviewed retrospectively at a tertiary care center for fifteen children who had undergone tracheotomy tube placement following cardiothoracic surgery between 1994 and 2000. Outcomes Measure: Morbidity and/or mortality associated with tracheotomy tube ...
