Tracheostomy tubes provide a stable airway for ventilator support
and allow access to the lower respiratory tract for secretion
management. Indications for placement of a tracheostomy tube vary
from relief of upper airway obstruction to ventilation for
protracted acute respiratory failure to a chronic neuromuscular
illness. This book focuses on the prospective practices,
management, and potential complications of a tracheostomy. Some of
the topics discussed include maintenance of a long term
tracheostomy; open versus percutaneous tracheostomy; management of
tube displacement; the use of a tracheostomy in burn patients; and
the role of ultrasounds in a percutaneous tracheostomy.
