Abstract:
Clinical practice protocols for the control and prevention of respiratory infections in rehabilitation settings, especially regarding pediatric tracheostomized patients, are currently lacking. To tackle this issue, we conducted a systematization of our clinical management protocols, aiming at defining a decisional algorithm and describing its key points in more detail. We focused on infection control, improvement of respiratory functions, and weaning from tracheostomy.
