Outcomes of Children With Tracheostomy Before and After Implementing Caregiver Simulation‐Based Tracheostomy Education
Overall mortality was significantly lower among patients whose caregivers completed SBT. The frequency of ED visits, readmissions, and mortality due to tracheostomy-related causes did not differ between the groups. Although high-fidelity SBT may augment caregiver competence in TRE management, further study is needed to determine if SBT can measurably impact tracheostomy-related outcomes.
