“…(12) in late 1970 tracheostomy as a primary treatment in the management of LTB and epiglotittis was abandoned in favour of naso-tracheal intubation. (13,14) The main indication for tracheostomy in the pediatric patient from our hospital where the study was conducted was airway obstruction (93.2%), prolonged orotracheal intubation and other causes (6.8%) among the airway obstruction in our study was foreign body bronchus, despite the variability in indication seen in the present study, we have noticed changes in the indications for tracheostomy in children along the years. (15,16) The foreign body bronchus was most popular indication for patient in our institute, among this the common foreign body was custard apple seed and aspiration of food particles in to the trachea, the next followed in our study was respiratory papillomatosis, treatment based on papilloma excision in order to keep the airway patent, however in some cases the disease is highly recurrent resulting in air way obstruction, and then tracheostomy is necessary.…”

A trachestomy is a small, surgical opening from the skin to the anterior wall of the trachea, pediatric patients for whom tracheostomy is more hazardous than adults, consideration have different anatomy, medical conditions, and prognoses than adults, even the tracheostomy tubes are different in size, the indications for tracheostomy in children include, bypassing airway obstruction (Laryngo-tracheobronchitis, epiglottitis), providing access for prolong ventilation, and facilitating tracheo-bronchial toilet, to day prime indication for pediatrics tracheostomy is subglottic stenosis. We have reviewed experience with 84 tracheostomies under 13 years of age in our hospital. We are here discussing the common indications and complications, difficulty in decannulation in pediatric patients, in our study the common indication is the foreign body bronchus followed by other conditions.

“…Nevertheless, it is most frequently performed on children less than 1 year old. [11][12][13][14] The increase in tracheostomies within this age group has been attributed to increases in the survival of premature newborn infants and those requiring prolonged ventilation. 4 The decision to perform a tracheostomy on a child is complex and depends on several factors, including the severity of airway obstruction, the difficulty and duration of intubation and the child's subjacent medical condition.…”

Objective: To provide an up-to-date review of pediatric tracheostomy, primarily focusing on indications, surgical technique, complications and hospital and home care.Sources: MEDLINE and PubMed databases were searched using the following keywords: tracheostomy, tracheotomy, children, newborn. Summary of the findings:Indications for tracheostomy in children are changing. Today the most common indication is prolonged ventilation. The age at the time of the procedure has also changed, with a peak incidence of tracheostomy in patients less than 1 year old. Except under emergency conditions, pediatric tracheostomy should be performed in the operating room with the child intubated. A horizontal skin incision with vertical tracheal incision and no tracheal resection is recommended. Although post-tracheostomy complications are not uncommon, they usually do not need special treatment or surgical procedures. Tracheostomy mortality can occur in up to 40% of pediatric cases, however the tracheostomy-related mortality rate is only 0 to 6%. Conclusions:The decision to perform a tracheostomy remains complex, and depends on several factors. The procedure is safe and with a low number of complications if carried out at a tertiary hospital by a trained and experienced team.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(2):97-103: Tracheostomy, tracheotomy, prolonged intubation, children, newborn.
