Purpose.
This paper reviews analyses for tracheostomy within our patient population over the last 6 years.
Methods.
We conducted a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients undergoing tracheostomy at the tertiary Dicle University Medical hospital, Turkey, from January 2006 to December 2012.
Patient age, sex, emergency, planned tracheostomy, indications, complications, and decannulation time were all assessed.
Results.
Fifty-six (34 male, 22 female) adult Pediatric patients undergoing tracheostomy between 2006 and 2013 were investigated.
The most common indication for tracheostomy was upper airway obstruction (66.7%), followed by prolonged intubation (33.3%).
Mean decannulation times after tracheostomy ranged between 1 and 131 days, the difference being statistically significant (P=0.040).
There was no significant difference in terms of mean age (9.8±6.0; P=0.26).
There was also no statistical difference between emergency and planned tracheotomies (P=0.606).
Conclusion.
In our patient population, there was a significant decline in the number of tracheotomies performed for prolonged intubation and an increasing number of patient tracheostomy for upper airway obstruction.
According to the literature, permanent decannulation rates were slightly higher with an increase in genetic diseases such as neuromuscular disease.
