Tracheostomy Decannulation01:21

Tracheostomy Decannulation

236
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

719
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

1.2K
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps

236
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.
Required Equipment
The equipment necessary for tracheostomy care includes:

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

688
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Trachea

2.2K
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Patient Safety
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Tracheotomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Complications of tracheostomy are well-documented, but device-specific issues are less studied.
  • Existing literature often relies on isolated case reports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze complications associated with tracheostomy devices using the FDA's MAUDE database.
  • To identify common and rare adverse events related to tracheostomy device failures.
  • To complement existing literature on tracheostomy complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cross-sectional study design.
  • Utilized the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database from 2015-2020.
  • Queried the MAUDE database for adverse events related to tracheostomy procedures.

Main Results:

  • 3086 adverse events for open tracheostomy and 52 for percutaneous tracheostomy were identified.
  • Device malfunction was the primary cause (93% for open, 73% for percutaneous).
  • Cuff malfunction was the most frequent device-related event (59% for open, 29% for percutaneous).

Conclusions:

  • The MAUDE database is valuable for identifying tracheostomy device-related failures.
  • Findings highlight the prevalence of device malfunctions, especially cuff issues.
  • This study complements existing literature by providing a broader overview of device complications.
