Infos

Comprehensive Tracheostomy Care is a resource developed
by the UK National Tracheostomy Safety Project (NTSP) to help
promote and facilitate the safe management of tracheostomies and
laryngectomies. The scope includes hospital in-patient specialist
areas such as critical care, head & neck units and specialist
wards, but it is also applicable to more general wards, outpatient
and community settings. The majority of the content is for adult
patients, complemented by a dedicated paediatric chapter developed
with colleagues from Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The manual is a 'one stop shop' covering all aspects
of tracheostomy and laryngectomy management. It includes
multidisciplinary resources from surgical, anaesthetic, nursing,
intensive care and allied health backgrounds, along with guidance
from key UK stakeholder organisations. Emergency guidance has been
reviewed and endorsed by relevant Royal Colleges, national
organisations and patient groups.

It takes into account many national and international
guidelines, policies and resources. It has been developed by
consulting as widely as possible, across traditional professional
boundaries using expertise and existing guidance from around the
world, including the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative (href="http://www.globaltrach.org/">www.globaltrach.org).
Relevant existing resources are brought together coherently, with
new resources presented in easy-to-follow text, illustrations,
photographs and innovative linked e-learning and interactive
resources.
