Complex Airway Clinic

Expert care for your child’s tracheostomy needs

The Complex Airway Clinic at Children’s Health℠ provides personalized, ongoing care for all children with tracheostomy tubes. Our specially trained ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists have experience in pediatric tracheostomy and airway reconstructive surgeries.

When your child needs a tracheostomy tube to help manage an upper airway condition, they will have a procedure that involves inserting a tube into a surgically-created hole in their windpipe. The tube will help your child breathe better and keep the airway clear (or open).

If your child requires a tracheostomy tube for an extended period of time, our team will provide the resources and education you need to be an active participant in your child’s continued care. We also coordinate with local and regional pediatric pulmonologists to create a follow-up plan that meets your child’s unique needs.

Educational resources that help you manage your child’s care

Caring for a child who has undergone a tracheostomy can be a daunting task for anyone. You may have questions like, “How will my child eat?” and “Will my child be able to participate in normal childhood activities?” We are here to address your concerns and help you understand your child’s tracheostomy tube limitations and maintenance. Our approach ensures that your child gets the proper treatment while also keeping you informed and educated throughout the process.

We feature an education course designed to answer any questions you have about your child’s immediate and ongoing care.
