Impact of stoma maturation on pediatric tracheostomy-related complications Colman KL; Mandell DL; Simons JPArch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2010[May]; 136 (5): 471-4OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of stoma maturation on pediatric tracheostomy-related complications and to report the incidence of pediatric tracheostomy-related complications. DESIGN: Retrospective medical chart review and data analysis. SETTING: Tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 172 consecutive patients who underwent tracheotomy during a 4-year period. INTERVENTION: Tracheotomy with or without stoma maturation at the time of surgery was performed by 8 pediatric otolaryngologists. Stoma maturation was based solely on individual surgeon preference, not on patient factors. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Early and late tracheostomy-related complications; correlation between stoma maturation and complication rate. RESULTS: The patients' mean (SD) age was 4.9 (6.6) years, with a mean follow-up of 35.4 (24.5) months. Of 156 patients for whom stoma maturation data were available, 48 (30.8%) underwent stoma maturation and 108 (69.2%) did not. Nineteen of 172 patients (11.0%) had an early complication (within the first 7 days), including accidental decannulation, bleeding, false tract, pneumonia, and tracheitis. Late complications included suprastomal tracheal granulation tissue (48.8%), tracheitis (48.8%), peristomal granulation tissue (26.7%), accidental decannulation (11.6%), and mucus plugging (9.9%). Among the 62 patients (36.0%) who were decannulated, 23 of 62 (37.1%) developed a persistent tracheocutaneous fistula. Younger patients had a higher rate of suprastomal granulation tissue, tracheitis, tracheocutaneous fistula, and repeated surgical procedures (P < .05). Patients with stoma maturation were incidentally older than patients without stoma maturation (P < .05). When corrected for age, stoma maturation did not have an impact on the incidence of any of the tracheostomy-related complications. CONCLUSION: There was no relationship between stoma maturation and tracheostomy-related complications, including rate of tracheocutaneous fistula and development of granulation tissue.|*Tracheostomy[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Chi-Square Distribution[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Postoperative Complications/*epidemiology[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Young Adult[MESH] |
