Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Develop an appropriate bedside scoring method for describing the position and orientation of a tracheostomy tube tip when viewed endoscopically from a standardised position
2. Secondary aims
* Correlate the endoscopic views of the tracheostomy tube with the trans-laryngeal views.
* Is it possible to predict the trans-laryngeal view from the endoscopic view.
* Does the position of a tracheostomy tube tip change when the patient is repositioned following percutaneous tracheostomy (when viewed endoscopically)
* Equipment training: Compare the number of supervised endoscopies required to consistently achieve the required standardised view
3. Primary outcome
\- Determine the scoring system with the best inter-rater agreement as defined by weighted kappa and intra-class correlation coefficients.
4. Secondary outcome
\- Assess correlation between the best scoring system (chosen by above) with the translaryngeal view
5. Tertiary aim - Assessment of training: Determine the number of attempts required to obtain adequate standardised views. This will be a manikin based assessment to demonstrate competence in performing the endoscopies for the study before any procedures are undertaken on patients.
