Radiologic and surgical evidence of pre-tracheal anatomies for safe procedures in older adult oncologic patients: educational implications for elective or emergent tracheotomies among novice practitioners
Considering the age-related changes, the evaluation of the pre-tracheal anatomies based on radiographic evidence can facilitate safer tracheotomies in older adult patients. Besides, educational implications for impromptu tracheotomies may also be drawn with knowledge of these variable anatomies.
