Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary objective

\- to evaluate the rate of physical complications (that require treatment, intubation, recannulation or lead to death) in patients hospitalized in the SPC over three months following the removal of the tracheal cannula (decannulation).

Secondary objectives

* to describe types of complications short-term (up to 4 days) and long-term (up to three months) post-decannulation
* to assess predictors for short- and long-term complications post-decannulation
* to explore patients' perspectives on decannulation outcomes
* to evaluate individual trajectories of the clinical decannulation protocol
