Laryngotracheal Lesions in Adults With Long-Term Tracheostomy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Standardized Three-Station Bronchoscopy: Standardized bronchoscopy through the tracheostomy tube and transnasally to assess the larynx, subglottic region, suprastomal trachea, stoma region, and distal trachea. The examination is not assigned as a treatment and is not intended to compare treatment effects.
Study summary
This multicenter prospective observational cohort study will enroll 224 adults with a tracheostomy tube in place for at least 14 days. Within 1 week after enrollment, each participant will undergo a standardized three-station bronchoscopy through the tracheostomy tube and transnasally, with temporary tube occlusion and immediate tube replacement when required. The study will describe the prevalence, anatomic distribution, and severity of laryngotracheal lesions, including mucosal ulceration, scar formation, granulation tissue, vocal cord paralysis, subglottic stenosis, and tracheomalacia. The study will also evaluate clinical and tracheostomy-related factors associated with these lesions. No treatment is assigned by the study; the bronchoscopy is a standardized diagnostic assessment performed for research evaluation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Prevalence of Any Laryngotracheal Lesion — Within 1 week after enrollment.
Proportion of enrolled participants with at least one predefined laryngotracheal lesion detected by standardized three-station bronchoscopy, including mucosal ulceration, scar formation, granulation tissue, vocal cord paralysis, subglottic stenosis, tracheomalacia, or other prespecified structural or functional lesion. The estimate will be reported with a 95% confidence interval.
