TRACHEOSTOMY COMPLICATIONS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.


ABSTRACT: The word tracheostomy derived from two greek words meaning 'I cut the trachea' has been known for about 3500 yrs. The process has evolved over the years and has undergone revolutionary changes in the methodology, instrumentation and indications. Although tracheostomy is now commonly used the complication rate remains high. In our series it was 48% which is comparable with other series. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the complications of tracheostomy with special attention to their management and prevention.
