Decannulation of tracheotomized patients after long-term mechanical ventilation – results of a prospective multicentric study in German neurological early rehabilitation hospitals

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
Background In the course of neurological early rehabilitation, decannulation is attempted in tracheotomized patients after weaning due to its considerable prognostic significance. We aimed to identify predictors of a successful tracheostomy decannulation.

Predictors of Brain Infarction in Pediatric Patients During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 909-916, June 2026.
In 179 pediatric ECMO patients, brain infarction (BI) occurred in 28% and was linked to markedly higher 30‐day mortality. VA ECMO mode (vs. VV) and higher pre‐ECMO arterial lactate independently predicted BI, supporting standardized neuro‐monitoring and liberal early brain CT, especially for children on VA ECMO.

Pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir, tenofovir and lamivudine during venous–venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO): A case report

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1487-1492, May 2026.
While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...

Laryngeal Transplantation in Cancer Patients: Evaluation of Surgical Outcomes and Functional Recovery

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our pilot clinical study in laryngeal transplantation achieved divergent outcomes: two cases maintained functional speech/swallowing with around 2 year graft survival and have been ongoing, while two succumbed to sepsis (10mo) and hemorrhagic recurrence (11mo).

Tubercular mediastinal lymphadenopathy: An unusual cause of failed decannulation and tracheostomy

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011
Literature has described many causes of failed decannulation and weaning. However, failed decannulation and weaning from ventilator due to a hilar lymph node compressing upon a bronchus has not been described.

Drainage of Pleural Effusion in the Intensive Care Unit (DOPE‐ICU) Feasibility Trial—Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with respiratory failure. Ultrasonography‐guided therapeutic pleural drainage is widely used and associated with improved oxygenation and ventilatory parameters, but no randomised clinical trial data exist.

Decannulation- Do’s and Dont’s

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH, 2023
Dear Editor, The term "Decannulation" refers to the process of weaning which involves removal of tracheostomy tube and maintaining spontaneous respiration with airway protection. This step though appears very simple requires a near normal neuromuscular coordination for effective cough reflex, phonation, swallowing and respiration.

Cough flows as a criterion for decannulation of autonomously breathing patients with tracheostomy tubes

Respiratory Research
Background Adequate cough or exsufflation flow can indicate an option for safe tracheostomy decannulation to noninvasive management. Cough peak flow via the upper airways with the tube capped is an outcome predictor for decannulation readiness in ...
