Predictive factors for the decannulation of tracheostomized patients
Keywords:
predictive factors, tracheostomy, decannulationAbstract
Introduction: tracheostomy has been used as a means to treat or alleviate airway obstruction. At present it has become a useful instrument to avoid or reduce the complications associated with prolonged endotracheal intubation and facilitate an artificial airway with greater comfort for patients with invasive mechanical ventilation. Objective: to determine the predictive factors for the successful decannulation of tracheostomized patients in the Intensive Care Unit. Method: a prospective, longitudinal and developmental study was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit of the Manuel Fajardo Rivero Hospital, and in the Intensive and Intermediate Care Units and the Neurology, Neurosurgery and Medicine (A and B) wards of the Arnaldo Milián Castro Hospital in the City of Santa Clara. The universe was the totality of patients who underwent tracheostomy in the units in which the study was performed. The sample was made up of patients who met the proposed inclusion criteria. A decannulation protocol was carried out and the predictive variables of successful decannulation were determined. Results: the variables predictive of successful decannulation presented a value of p <0.05. Conclusions: the variables flare-ups, low risk of aspiration, ability to manage secretions, occlusion test, albumin at admission, number of cannula changes, oxygen blood pressure, oxygen saturation and bicarbonate are predictors of successful decannulation.Downloads
