Copyright © 2023 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD..

To evaluate the effect of training on increasing baseline knowledge of pediatrics and anesthesia residents about airway management of pediatric patients with tracheostomy. It is a prospective, descriptive, before and after survey study. A questionnaire was conducted to measure the baseline knowledge of pediatrics and anesthesia residents about airway management in patients with pediatric tracheotomy. The same questionnaire was repeated after the education. Of the 63 participants, 42 were pediatric residents and 21 were anesthesiology residents. While the number of participants who answered the cuff part, inner cannula part, obturator part and balloon part of the tracheostomy tube correctly before the training was 27, 4, 10, and 12, respectively, these numbers increased to 53, 52, 57, and 55 after the training. There was a statistically significant improvement after the training in the correct response of the cuff, inner cannula, obturator, and balloon sections. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the answers received after the training for all 7 questions regarding the clinical scenario of accidental decannulation and tracheostomy bleeding compared to the pre-training. There was a statistical improvement in part where the participants rated themselves. In conclusion, training increases the ability of healthcare professionals to cope with life-threatening complications related to pediatric tracheotomy. A standardized education program on pediatric tracheostomy should be included in the routine programs of associated departments such as emergency medicine, anesthesia, and pediatrics residencies.
