Specialised tracheostomy care team in a Belgian hospital
This study looks at how a specialised team manages patients with a tracheostomy tube (a breathing tube in the neck) in a Belgian hospital. It reviews past medical records to see how well this team's care worked, which might help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be a patient at VITAZ hospital in Belgium
- Have a tracheostomy tube (including after laryngectomy)
