Study on Outcomes After Removing Tracheal Cannulas in Adult Patients at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre Nottwil

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the outcomes after removing the tracheal cannula decannulation in adult patients hospitalized at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre Nottwil SPC. This observational study evaluates the rate of physical complications, such as those requiring treatment, intubation, recannulation, or leading to death, over three months following decannulation. The study also explores patients perspectives and clinical protocols related to decannulation. This study does not involve any experimental treatments but closely monitors patients who have undergone decannulation during their hospital stay at SPC. The research team collects information at multiple time points 4 days, 1 month, and 3 months after the tracheal cannula is removed. The study aims to describe short- and long-term complications, assess factors that predict these complications, and evaluate the clinical decannulation process. Participants will be followed over a three-month period with assessments that include questionnaires about their experiences and clinical evaluations of any physical complications. Data collection also includes measuring rates of reintubation, recannulation, and death. The study uses standardized questionnaires and clinical data to understand outcomes and patient perspectives, helping to improve knowledge about decannulation management in this patient group.
