Comparing the tracheostomy dislodgement and complication rate of non-sutured neck tie to skin sutured neck tie fixation.

Introduction: Tracheostomy management is a routine aspect of care in the critical care setting. While there are multiple complications that can arise in the post-operative setting after creation of a tracheostomy, dislodgement of a tracheostomy tube is associated with high mortality requiring rapid intervention. It is therefore important to prevent the occurrence with proper securement of the tracheostomy.
