Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score first week on day 0-2-4-6 and after the first week on indication.

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Two weeks and three months after decannulation: Forced oscillation technique.

    1 year

  • Three months after decannulation ENT-specialist control and MRI-scan to see whether there are signs or symptoms of tracheal stenosis.

    1 year

  • Peri-operative complications: procedure-related complications occurring within 24 hours of the procedure.

    1 year

  • Post-operative complications: divided into 'complications while cannulated' and 'late complications'.

    1 year

  • - Complications while cannulated: complications occurring after 24 hours until removal of the tracheostomy tube.

    1 year

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
