Article Synopsis
- - Objective was to assess how a "Tracheostomy Team" affects survival rates and hospital stay length in a level IV NICU setting.
- - After implementing a multidisciplinary approach through structured cycles, in-hospital survival for tracheostomy patients increased from 67% to 100%, while median length of stay remained stable overall.
- - The study highlighted that while survival improved, there was a significant rise in hospital stay specifically for patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), emphasizing the need to focus on preventing post-operative infections in future quality improvement initiatives.
