Hot Topics in Tracheostomy Care: The Great UK Debate Series - To cap or not to cap?

Join Atos Tracheostomy Clinical Educators and experienced clinicians from around the UK to discuss hot topics within tracheostomy management. This series of three webinars will focus on exploring variations in practice within areas of weaning and tube choice. Clinicians using different approaches to management will discuss the clinical reasoning and evidence-base underpinning decision making, allowing attendees to compare and contrast practice in order to broaden their own understanding.

The webinar series would be suitable for any clinicians working with tracheostomy patients, especially those involved in the tracheostomy weaning process and tube selection.

Webinar 1: To cap or not to cap?

Capping can often be considered the final step in tracheostomy weaning, however the practice of capping varies widely between clinicians and clinical area. Should we use capping at all to help inform readiness for decannulation? If we do cap, how long should we cap for? What are the potential benefits to using capping and what potential complications might we see? In this webinar we will hear from clinicians with differing practice and perspectives, to explore the world of capping and what can influence decision making.
