Tracheotomy Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach

A practical review of all tracheotomy procedures and acute and chronic tracheotomy care that combines evidence-based practice and expert opinion to create an invaluable hands-on guide for any healthcare provider managing patients with tracheotomies.

Patients with tracheotomies are managed by a wide variety of healthcare professionals. As a result, information regarding best practice is scattered throughout the medical literature and can be difficult to identify and implement in the clinical setting.

Written and edited by tracheotomy experts from a wide variety of disciplines, Tracheotomy Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach is essential reading for anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists and critical care and emergency physicians. Each chapter is authored by at least two different subspecialists, contains case studies with real-life examples of problematic clinical scenarios, and is enhanced by high quality images. The rationale for different approaches is discussed to guide the decision-making process.

• A clinically-oriented reference which addresses difficult issues: appropriate timing of an elective tracheostomy, key management differences, and patient advice
• Written and edited by experts from a wide variety of disciplines and subspecialties
• Algorithms and color photographs enhance the text throughout, illustrating the issues and interventions discussed
