Risk Factors for Posttracheostomy Tracheal Stenosis

Abstract: Objective To determine the incidence of posttracheostomy tracheal stenosis and to investigate variables related to the patient, hospitalization, or operation that may affect stenosis rates. Study Design A combined retrospective cohort and case-control study. Setting Tertiary care academic medical center. Subjects and Methods A total of 1656 patients who underwent tracheostomy at a tertiary care medical center from January 2011 to November 2016 were reviewed for evidence of subsequent tracheal stenosis on airwa… Show more

“…18,[22][23][24] Rates have been reported to vary between 1.5% and 1.7% depending on various factors, such as obesity, the need for a wide diameter tracheostomy and long-term mechanical ventilation. 25 In a series of 88 percutaneous tracheostomy cases, Wagner et al reported the development of TS in eight (9.1%) patients. 24 The results of the current study were consistent with the literature in respect to TS.…”

“…TS is the narrowing of the tracheal lumen by fibrosis or granulation tissue . Rates have been reported to vary between 1.5% and 1.7% depending on various factors, such as obesity, the need for a wide diameter tracheostomy and long‐term mechanical ventilation . In a series of 88 percutaneous tracheostomy cases, Wagner et al .…”

“…Idiopathic subglottic stenosis, which can extend into the upper trachea, plays a role. However, data suggests that the risk associated with intubation is the most common cause of tracheal stenosis, and intubation risk may excessively affect women . Another consideration is that women in this sample may be more symptomatic or relatively healthier than men with tracheal stenosis and therefore were more likely to undergo tracheoplasty.…”
