| Popis: | Extensive resections for advanced malignancies of the oral cavity quite often require patients to have a tracheostomy tube and nasogastric tube for prolonged periods leading to dependence. Timely and safe removal of these tubes would help hasten the recovery and rehabilitation of these patients. A simple bedside protocol for evaluation and weaning of nasogastric tube and tracheostomy tube is outlined in this communication. This would help health care workers in resource-poor settings make safe clinical decisions and improve care. |
