TRacheostomy in DElphi for iNTensive Care' (TRiDENT)

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Delphi Process, Delphi Study

In brief

The aim of this study is to develop international consensus-based recommendations for tracheostomy care in critically ill patients. Using the Delphi method, the study seeks to identify key practices in post-tracheostomy management, including tube downsizing and decannulation strategies, infection prevention and site care, restoration of communication and swallowing, and the recognition and management of tracheostomy-related complications. By engaging a multidisciplinary panel of international experts involved in tracheostomy care, the study aims to reduce variability in current practice and support the development of standardized, evidence-informed approaches across different clinical settings.
