Recommendations for airway surveillance Jeune Syndrome patients with tracheostomy: Recommendations for airway surveillance
The Jeune Center of Nationwide Children’s Hospital has noted an unusually high (25%) incidence of tracheal granulomata in our list of active patients. This is considerably higher than the incidence of granulomata in patients with chronic tracheostomies for other reasons. The reason for this high incidence is unclear at this time, but may be related to the underlying disease. Because of the significant risk this situation presents, we are recommending the following guidelines for airway evaluation in this group of patients:
Flexible nasolaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy should be carried out on these patients every 3-6 months for surveillance purposes. Flexible nasolaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy should be carried out immediately for the following indications:
Bleeding from the tracheostomy Any new decrease in vocalization Visible granulation tissue externally around the stoma Any decrease in toleration of the regular tracheostomy changes Parental concern for any other new signs of deterioration or decrease in overall airway stability
