Ever Hear of Re-traching Just For Surgery?
Along the same lines as my other thread but kind of a different question. I know for some kids that have had a trach for awhile their stoma doesn't always close completely after decannulation. Has anyone ever heard of the doctors putting a trach back in a decannulated child just to avoid intubating for a surgery? And is there any way to know which kids stomas will remain open?
