Abstract
We observed a similar decline in the number of tracheotomies otolaryngology over six years. Our trend is likely due to changes in consultations patterns, increasing use of the percutaneous method, and an increase in adjunctive gastrostomy tube placements. Investigations on the impact of a greater number of non-otolaryngology performed tracheotomies on follow up care is warranted.
