    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Canine Respiratory System

    Background:

    • Prolonged intubation in dogs often necessitates tracheostomy.
    • Standard human cannulae are ill-suited for canine anatomy.
    • Tracheal damage is a significant risk during and after intubation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel surgical technique for tracheostomy in dogs.
    • To present a custom-designed cannula and cuff to minimize tracheal trauma.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a simple humidification method.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical technique for tracheostomy in dogs requiring prolonged intubation.
    • Use of a custom-designed cannula and cuff.
    • Assessment of tracheal trauma and secretion management.
    • Implementation of a simple humidification system.

    Main Results:

    • The described cannula and cuff did not cause severe mechanical trauma to the trachea.
    • Factors predisposing to tracheal damage were minimized.
    • A simple humidification method was adequate for healthy dogs.
    • No tenacious tracheobronchial secretions or retention were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical technique and custom cannula are suitable for canine tracheostomy.
    • This method effectively minimizes tracheal trauma associated with prolonged intubation.
    • The simple humidification technique is sufficient for managing secretions in healthy dogs undergoing tracheostomy.
