We report a case of acute respiratory failure due to tracheobronchomalacia secondary to RP, which was treated with steroids, a tracheostomy, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
(3) If patient has respiratory insufficiency, e. g. chronic lung diseases, then tracheostomy might help oxygen ventilation by reducing respiratory dead space.
In case the tracheostomy tube is damaged, infected, occluded or non-functioning in any way, then a new tube should be inserted in place of the old one, under expert supervision.
