Pediatric tracheostomy is a safe procedure for airway management in infants and neonates. Home care by parents is feasible, with most patients experiencing minor complications and successful decannulation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Pediatric tracheostomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Indications and outcomes for pediatric tracheostomy have evolved over time.
  • Recent trends in pediatric airway management require updated data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review institutional experience with pediatric tracheostomy over 13 years.
  • To analyze trends in indications, complications, and outcomes.
  • To assess the feasibility and safety of home tracheostomy care by parents.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of hospital records for pediatric tracheostomy patients.
  • Data collected included age, gender, indication, duration, complications, and follow-up.

  • Thirty-nine tracheotomies in 36 patients were reviewed.

    • Main Results:

    • Males outnumbered females 2:1; mean age was 41.6 months, with nearly a third being newborns.
    • Indications included congenital and acquired obstructive lesions.
    • Most patients (30/39) were successfully decannulated, with minor, transient post-decannulation complications. One tracheostomy-related death occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric tracheostomy is a safe procedure, especially in neonates and infants.
    • Home tracheostomy care managed by parents is feasible and effective.
    • Outcomes have improved, with reduced major complications compared to literature.
