We report three such cases at our centre. Recommendations are made to closely observe patients on tracheostomy tube in the first seven days post-insertion of the tube. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1932 | Pubmed: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19248703/ | ISSN: | 0300-5283 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Respiratory | Study or Trial: | Case Series and Case Reports |
