[Impact of severe laryngotracheal injuries on decannulation failure in adult patients. Retrospective cohort]

Adult tracheostomized patients with severe laryngotracheal injuries were decannulated less and had a greater need for recannulation compared to those with normal airway and mild injuries. The incidence of decannulation failure in patients with normal airway was 2.09% and in those with mild and severe injuries was 2.55% and 5.93%, respectively.
