Bronchoscopy-Guided Versus Conventional Tracheostomy Decannulation Outcomes, 2023-2025

Rundi Gao's dataset compares two tracheostomy decannulation pathways for adults with prolonged tracheostomy at a tertiary center between 2023 and 2025. It includes data on 81 patients, with 23 managed via a bronchoscopy-guided non-capping pathway and 58 via a conventional capping trial. The dataset records primary and secondary outcomes including decannulation failure rates, time to decannulation, and infectious complications.

Use Cases

• Compare decannulation failure rates between bronchoscopy-guided and conventional capping pathways.
• Analyze time to successful decannulation based on patient management group.
• Investigate the association between decannulation pathway and infectious complication rates.

Strengths

• Includes data on 81 patients from a defined cohort study.
• Compares two distinct clinical pathways (n=23 vs. n=58) with specific outcome measures.
• Covers a defined time range from 2023 to 2025.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single-center observational study, which may limit generalizability.
