  • Title: Temporary tracheostomy.
    Author: Mazzaferro EM.
    Journal: Top Companion Anim Med; 2013 Aug; 28(3):74-8. PubMed ID: 24182993.
    Abstract:
    Upper airway obstruction can be due to a variety of causes in small animal patients and is often life threatening if left untreated. Placement of a temporary tracheostomy tube may be necessary in the most severe cases of upper airway obstruction until definitive therapy can be implemented. This paper discusses the indications, technique for placement, maintenance, and complications associated with temporary tracheostomy in dogs and cats.
