Abstract

Introduction

Paediatric tracheostomy is associated with a significant burden of care on health systems and primary caregivers. Decannulation is regularly part of the discussion during insertion. Being fully aware of factors that affect successful decannulation and time to decannulation is important for consenting primary caregivers, but there is a paucity of comprehensive evidence.

Aim

Our objective was to try and establish important predictive criteria.

Methods

A retrospective review of all tracheostomy patients in a national tertiary paediatric referral centre over 20 years with data on factors drawn from existing literature and additional factors significant for paediatric otolaryngologists was performed. Univariable and multivariable analysis for decannulation success and cox regression analysis on time to decannulation was performed. We included all patients that were cared for at our facility and excluded only patients that had incomplete data available.

Results

153 patients were included for analysis. Corrected age at insertion of less than 6 weeks and sole tube feeding were found to be significant predictors of successful decannulation on univariable analysis, with maintenance of significance of feeding route on multivariable analysis. There was no significant effect on decannulation success with presence of comorbidities, long term ventilation, gestation, emergency status, EXIT procedure or requirement for intervention pre-decannulation on univariable analysis. There was no significant difference in time to decannulation with sole upper airway obstruction or long-term ventilation, mixed oral and tube feeding route, cardiac, respiratory, or genetic comorbidities, or requirement for intervention pre-decannulation. Significantly shorter time to successful decannulation was seen with age at insertion of greater than 12 months, while a significantly longer time was seen with sole tube feeding route, age of less than six weeks at insertion, indication for insertion of a combination of upper airway obstruction and long-term ventilation, neurological co-morbidities and two or more comorbidities on Cox regression analysis.

Conclusion

Our analysis demonstrated feeding route to be a significant predictor of decannulation success on multivariable analysis. We also demonstrated multiple predictors of time to decannulation. These findings should aid in the discussion around decannulation with primary caregivers.
儿科气管切开术:我们能预测拔管时间吗?
儿科气管切开术给卫生系统和初级照护者带来了沉重的医疗负担。在插入过程中,脱管是经常讨论的一部分。充分意识到影响成功的脱管和脱管时间的因素对同意的主要护理人员很重要,但缺乏全面的证据。我们的目标是尝试建立重要的预测标准。方法回顾性分析某国家三级儿科转诊中心20年来所有气管切开术患者的数据,包括现有文献和对儿科耳鼻喉科医生有重要意义的其他因素。对脱管成功率进行单变量和多变量分析,对脱管时间进行cox回归分析。我们纳入了所有在我们机构接受治疗的患者,只排除了数据不完整的患者。结果153例患者纳入分析。单变量分析发现,插管时小于6周的矫正年龄和单管喂养是成功脱管的显著预测因素,多变量分析发现喂养方式保持显著性。单变量分析显示,合并症、长期通气、妊娠、紧急状态、退出程序或干预前脱管要求对脱管成功无显著影响。单纯上气道阻塞或长期通气、口管混合喂养方式、心脏、呼吸或遗传合并症、干预前脱管需求在脱管时间上无显著差异。Cox回归分析显示,年龄大于12个月的患者成功脱管时间明显较短,而单管喂养方式、年龄小于6周、上气道阻塞合并长期通气的指征、神经系统合并症和两种或两种以上合并症的患者脱管时间明显较长。结论在多变量分析中,我们的分析表明喂养途径是脱管成功的重要预测因素。我们还展示了解除导管时间的多个预测因子。这些发现应该有助于与主要护理人员讨论脱管。

期刊介绍: The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
