“…Some staff may be reluctant to remove a tracheostomy tube, especially if the child has a known difficult upper airway. However, when faced with a deteriorating patient and an obstructed airway, a non‐functioning tracheostomy tube offers no benefit, with considerable potential for harm . By considering a blocked or displaced tracheostomy tube as a foreign body within the airway, improvement can be anticipated upon removal.…”

Summary Temporary and permanent tracheostomies are required in children to manage actual or anticipated long‐term ventilatory support, to aid secretion management or to manage fixed upper airway obstruction. Tracheostomies may be required from the first few moments of life, with the majority performed in children < 4 years of age. Although similarities with adult tracheostomies are apparent, there are key differences when managing the routine and emergency care of children with tracheostomies. The National Tracheostomy Safety Project identified the need for structured guidelines to aid multidisciplinary clinical decision making during paediatric tracheostomy emergencies. These guidelines describe the development of a bespoke emergency management algorithm and supporting resources. Our aim is to reduce the frequency, nature and severity of paediatric tracheostomy emergencies through preparation and education of staff, parents, carers and patients.

“… 16 Following tracheostomy tube removal, reassessment at both airways (mouth and trachea) is required, ensuring oxygen is reapplied to face and stoma. 17 , 18 , 19 These actions may resolve the airway problem and if the patient is breathing and improving, ABCDE assessment continues. Definitive management of the airway (re-insertion of a tracheostomy or oral tube) is not necessarily required immediately if the patient is not hypoxic.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] accidental decannulation (AD) is not a well recognized complication of tracheostomy in adults, especially in the post-acute setting, and most reports are single cases. [5][6][7][8] More data are available on AD occurring in the pediatric population, either in the hospital 9,10 or home setting. 11 The number of patients receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy has been increasing.…”
