Most single-institutional studies in children with tracheotomy contain sample sizes that limit the ability to evaluate risk factors for poor outcomes.
1, 16– 20 The impact of the child’s comorbid conditions on hospital resource use has not been evaluated. Tracheotomy-related complications and predisposition for respiratory infections may lead to frequent hospitalizations. 16 The reasons for frequent hospitalization have not been described. One study reported that 11% of children required 4 or more hospitalizations within 6 months after tracheotomy. 7, 8, 10– 15 Identification of the diagnoses and other patient characteristics associated with mortality in children with tracheotomy has not been performed.Ĭhildren with tracheotomy are at risk for frequent hospitalizations. 7– 10 It is believed the vast majority of deaths are not tracheotomy-related, but rather because of the child’s underlying chronic diagnoses. 5, 6 Single-institutional studies have revealed 9% to 15% mortality rates up to 10 years after tracheotomy. The nation-wide mortality rate during hospitalization for tracheotomy is 7%.
1– 4Ĭhildren with tracheotomy are at risk for mortality. 1 Currently, tracheotomy is performed more often in children who require prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV), who have upper airway anomalies, or significant comorbid conditions including neurologic impairment (NI) and chronic lung disease. In the past, tracheotomy indications were principally acute upper airway compromise secondary to infection, such as epiglottitis and croup. When he joins forces with the Noir et Bleu Motorcycle Club to protect her, Cain discovers the lengths he's willing to go, and the person he's willing to become to protect the people he loves.Children experiencing potential life-limiting respiratory compromise may require tracheotomy for survival. But Lincoln's association with Cain puts her in more danger than anyone could have imagined. She's sweet, smart, and totally unpredictable. Touring Europe with Lincoln proves to be more complicated than Cain anticipated, and despite his efforts, the line between their personal and professional lives blurs. Although he doesn't need the headache of a high-maintenance celebrity, getting out of town will help him keep a low profile until he testifies against two of the killers. While searching for a member of the outlaw motorcycle gang who murdered his dad, Cain Allen is offered a boatload of cash to "handle" the stunning teen popstar Lincoln Todd.
