    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Intensive Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Tracheostomy tubes with conventional cuffs are used for prolonged mechanical ventilation.
    • Routine tracheostomy care protocols are essential in Intensive Therapy Units (ITU).

    Observation:

    • Three distinct cases of tracheal dilatation were observed.
    • This condition followed extended periods of ventilation.
    • The patients utilized tracheostomy tubes with standard inflatable cuffs.

    Findings:

    • Tracheal dilatation is a potential complication of prolonged tracheostomy ventilation.
    • The specific etiology may involve cuff pressure, duration of intubation, and patient-specific factors.
    • Clinical presentation includes specific symptoms and signs requiring careful assessment.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for vigilant monitoring of patients with tracheostomies.
    • Suggests a review of current tracheostomy care protocols to mitigate risks.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the prevention and management of tracheal complications.
