Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complications in permanent cannula wearers

Abstract

The number of permanent cannula wearers - has increased recently [1, 9]. Etiological factors contributing to an increase in the number of patients with tracheostomas are concomitant injuries to hollow neck organs, postintubation tracheal or laryngeal stenosis, surgical interventions on the neck, cancer of the upper respiratory tract, severe somatic diseases deteriorating the vital functions - breathing and food passage, which require repair surgery on the respiratory and digestive tracts. Despite successes in laryngotracheal surgery, failed or inefficient restorative surgical treatment requires a significant number of patients to wear a cannula on permanent basis [4-6]. Tracheostoma is a risk for the patient, while failure to provide adequate medical care and monitoring by the doctor can be life-threatening [8, 10, 11].
