Robotic education for tracheostomy safety
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to teach patients and families about tracheostomy care using robotics and hands-on education. It aims to improve safety and comfort for anyone who has or gets a tracheostomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You either had a tracheostomy placed during your hospital stay, or you were admitted already having one.

This study tests a digital health program for children with complex medical needs who have a tracheostomy. The program helps families and doctors manage care at home.
This trial tests a device called TrachPhone that helps people with a tracheostomy speak more clearly. It may be a good fit if you are stable and breathing on your own through your trach tube.
This study tests whether a structured education program for family members of ICU patients who need a tracheostomy helps them feel more prepared and less stressed. You would be asked to attend training sessions and fill out some questionnaires.
This trial tests if a new measurement called TTPEE can help doctors predict if the upper airway will stay open safely in people who have a tracheostomy and have recently been weaned off a ventilator.
This trial tests a robotic training program for newer surgeons. It may help surgeons learn robotic procedures more effectively.
This trial tests a new scope that may make routine tracheostomy tube exchanges safer and easier for patients who depend on a breathing tube in their neck.
