What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score first week on day 0-2-4-6 and after the first week on indication.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Two weeks and three months after decannulation: Forced oscillation technique.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Three months after decannulation ENT-specialist control and MRI-scan to see whether there are signs or symptoms of tracheal stenosis.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Peri-operative complications: procedure-related complications occurring within 24 hours of the procedure.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Post-operative complications: divided into 'complications while cannulated' and 'late complications'.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. - Complications while cannulated: complications occurring after 24 hours until removal of the tracheostomy tube.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. -Late complications: complications occuring after removal of the tracheostomy tube.

    Measured: 1 year
