Determinants of time to decannulation and predictors of early weaning from tracheostomy: a multicenter, retrospective Italian cohort study [PDF]

Annals of Intensive Care
Background: Weaning from tracheostomy is largely left to experts’ opinion. Shared and validated protocols for decannulation are lacking, and procedures during the weaning process depend upon clinical judgement.

A standardized decannulation protocol improves outcomes in neurorehabilitation of critically ill patients: a quasi-experimental pre-post design [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
PurposeClinical practice guidelines recommend tracheotomy decannulation protocols for neurorehabilitation of critically ill patients. However, evidence supporting their effectiveness remains limited.

Pediatric Tracheostomy: A Five-year Retrospective Review at a Tertiary Care Center [PDF]

Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology
Objective: Tracheostomy in the pediatric population is a technical and demanding procedure due to the smaller, more pliable trachea and the limited exposure of the operating field. It has been documented to have higher morbidity and mortality, especially

Impact of post-decannulation high fever on mortality in patients with severe ARDS treated with veno-venous ECMO: a multicenter retrospective study [PDF]

Journal of Intensive Care
Background Few studies have examined the prognostic impact of high fever after decannulation from veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to investigate the

Biofilm formation on venovenous ECMO cannulas can lead to re-introduction of pathogens during the decannulation process – a small-scale study reveals new insights when combining cultures and molecular results [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas are potential reservoirs for pathogens, yet their role in bacteremia and sepsis following decannulation remains poorly understood.
