Pediatric tracheostomy: complications and role of home care in a developing country
Pediatric Surgery International, 11/02/09

Zia S et al. – A large number of tracheostomies have been performed in the PV group to reduce the intensive care unit stay and to prevent nosocomial infections. The need arises from the high cost of prolonged stay in an ICU setup, which is a cause of major economic burden, and lack of financial assistance for these patients worsens the scenario. Home care of the tracheostomy tubes remains a good option for patients requiring long periods of time to overcome their primary pathology.
