Background
-
➢ To highlight evidence base for the different methods and procedures for TD
-
➢ To determine the preference of method and procedures for TD in adults
-
➢ To determine the acceptability (to patients and health care workers) of method and procedures for TD in adults
Methodology
Systematic scoping review
Identifying the research question
Eligibility of research question
Criteria | Determinants |
---|---|

Intervention | Tracheostomy decannulation |
Comparison | Absence of TD |
Outcomes | Primary—evidence for procedures and methods Secondary—preference and acceptability: successful decannulation, reduced complications of long-term tracheostomy and increased comfort by health care workers in undertaking the procedure |
