“…These devices require changing the tracheostomy tube, as well as well-motivated, alert patients who can use their upper extremities to control the flow of air through the vocal cords. Some studies have shown that up to 75%of patients can learn to speak with the help of these specialized tracheostomy tubes, but it may take a period of learning before the patient becomes efficient at using this device [110,111]. Other studies have demonstrated poor results with these specialized tubes [112][113][114].…”

The placement of a tracheostomy has become a routine procedure for intensive care unit patients who are mechanical ventilator dependent for a period of time, usually exceeding 1 or 2 weeks. It is vital for the intensivist to be familiar with all aspects of tracheostomies care including the timing of converting a patient to a tracheostomy, types of procedure, risks and benefits, and issues of daily care including oral feedings, speech, and decannulation. In this article we provide a comprehensive review for the intensivist regarding tracheostomies in the intensive care setting. We specifically review indications, timing, surgical options including percutaneous dilation tracheostomy, complications, decannulation, oral feeding, speaking devises, stomal stents, and routine tracheostomy care.
