Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score first week on day 0-2-4-6 and after the first week on indication. | 1 year |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Three months after decannulation ENT-specialist control and MRI-scan to see whether there are signs or symptoms of tracheal stenosis. | 1 year |
| Peri-operative complications: procedure-related complications occurring within 24 hours of the procedure. | 1 year |
| Two weeks and three months after decannulation: Forced oscillation technique. | 1 year |
| - Complications while cannulated: complications occurring after 24 hours until removal of the tracheostomy tube. | 1 year |
| -Late complications: complications occuring after removal of the tracheostomy tube. | 1 year |
| Post-operative complications: divided into 'complications while cannulated' and 'late complications'. | 1 year |
