To study the magnitude of tracheostomy, its various indications and complications. Prospective Observational Study. A Prospective Observational study was carried out on 640 patients with various indications of tracheostomy admitted in ENT or referred from other departments for tracheostomy from July 2015 to March 2022. The epidemiological data regarding their age, sex, symptoms, indication and complications of tracheostomy were recorded. Necessary interventions were done as and when required. Patients ranged from 6 months to 86 yrs. Assisted ventilation was the most common indications for tracheostomy (68.125%, n = 436). The most common complication was subcutaneous emphysema (10.625%, n = 68) followed by tube displacement (5.625%, n = 36. The complication rate was 21.25% and the mortality rate 4.375% (n = 28) with specific mortality rate 0.625% (n = 4). Tracheostomy is one of the commonest surgeries. Data was collected from this study on the various indications of tracheostomy, the epidemiological factors and various complications associated with tracheostomy. Such a data is useful to learn from the mistakes and carry forward the virtouosity.

This study evaluated the characteristics, outcomes, and mortality-associated factors in patients who underwent tracheostomy after traumatic injury to optimize clinical decision-making and patient care in critical trauma settings. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) records from 2013 to 2016. This study included 41,630 adult trauma patients who underwent tracheostomy procedures.

Background: Children with end-stage heart failure listed for cardiac transplantation may require mechanical ventilation and/or circulatory support whilst awaiting transplantation. A subgroup of these patients is unable to wean off mechanical ventilator support and undergo tracheostomy to enhance quality of life and allow de-escalation of intensive care. There is limited evidence of the use of tracheostomy associated with pediatric cardiac transplantation.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neuromuscular disorder in children, and children with CP are at increased risk of respiratory distress potentially requiring tracheostomy placement. Previous studies have characterized indications for tracheostomy in neurologically compromised children, however no studies focus specifically on children with CP. The purpose of this study was to identify the indications for tracheostomy placement, sites of airway obstruction, and rate of decannulation in children with CP.

Tracheostomy is a routine surgical procedure in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, which requires mechanical ventilation to maintain gas exchange and avoid hypoxemia. Inadequate tracheostomy timing, nursing care, and decannulation would lead to a series of complications, such as aggravated pneumonia and prolonged intubation. The effects of early tracheostomy versus late tracheostomy have been explored.
