Systematic Review on Tracheostomy Tube Management in Otorhinolaryngology

Skills / interests: Data analysis and organisation

Methodological skills / interests: Comparing multiple interventions (network meta-analysis and overviews), Adverse effects

We are seeking contributors with expertise in otorhinolaryngology, evidence synthesis, or respiratory care to collaborate on a systematic review addressing critical evidence gaps in tracheostomy tube management. Tracheostomy care remains highly variable globally, with inconsistencies in practices such as tube selection (fenestrated vs. non-fenestrated), timing of tube changes, decannulation protocols, and management of complications like granulation tissue and infections . This review aims to synthesize existing evidence to clarify best practices and reduce preventable adverse events, which account for ~50% of airway-related critical care complications .  

Ideal applicant

- Students, clinicians, or researchers with interest in airway management. - Methodological familiarity with evidence synthesis (entry-level applicants welcome with mentorship).
