Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the indications of paediatric tracheostomy and associated morbidity within our patient population over the last one and a half years. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients below 12 years of age, undergoing tracheostomy at our tertiary ENT Hospital from April 2016 to December 2017. Patient age, sex, emergency or elective tracheostomy, indications, complications and decannulation were assessed. Results: 27 paediatric patients who underwent tracheostomy were investigated. 17 were males, and 10 were females. The most common indication for tracheostomy was Laryngeal diphtheria, followed by recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. 5 cases were successfully decannulated.
