Surgical Management of Non-malignant Cases by Tracheostomy in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract
Background: Tracheostomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure that involves creating an opening through the neck into the trachea to establish an airway. It can be performed for both malignant and non-malignant conditions. In non-malignant cases, tracheostomy is typically indicated in scenarios where long-term airway management is necessary, and it is often performed in tertiary care hospitals, where specialized expertise is available. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the surgical management of non-malignant cases by tracheostomy in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of ENT, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during June 2022 to May 2023. A total of 100 patients participated in the study. Statistical analyses of the results were obtained by using window-based Microsoft Excel and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-24). Results: In this study, according to the age distribution, 10% of the patients were aged 15 to 24 years. Furthermore, 38% were between the ages of 35 and 44, with 12% between the ages of 55 and 64. And the majority 57% of the patients were male, while 43% were female. According to the socioeconomic position of the study population, 27% come from low class, 42% from middle class, and 31% from high class families. Conclusion: The surgical management of non-malignant cases requiring tracheostomy in tertiary care hospitals is highly specialized and ensures optimal outcomes through a multidisciplinary approach.
