Abstract
- Dysphagia is a common problem in children with a tracheostomy tube. Such children are at risk of malnutrition, developmental problems, increased medical complications, and pose an increased burden on their caregivers. Therefore, proper evaluation and dysphagia rehabilitation are necessary for children with a tracheostomy tube. Also, as many such children experience serious complications, it is necessary to consider decannulation as early as possible, soon after the indication for tracheostomy placement is resolved. Decannulation should be performed safely as per the appropriate protocol.
