Specialized team care for tracheostomy patients in the hospital
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks back at the care of patients who had a tracheostomy tube in the hospital to see if having a specialized team improves outcomes. If you or a loved one had a tracheostomy while admitted to a hospital in Belgium between 2010 and 2026, this research may help improve care for others.
