Hey, y'all. I found a website about care of tracheostomies that I wish I had known about 6 months ago. It would have helped me reconcile different instructions I was given by doctors and caregivers about how to care for my son. I thought you might find it useful. Now, I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you that the site is accurate or that you should do what it says, but I will say that I found it informative and helpful. For those of you facing decannulation in the next year, you might want to read about the different decannulation methods.
Go to www.thoracic.org
Sorry, but it won't let me link you to the exact site, so to find the relevant material, do the following: click on Education, then Care of a Child with a Chronic Tracheostomy, then Components of Tracheostomy Care.
