Description
Abdulelah Aldhahir and co-authors survey tracheostomy care among breathing therapists in Saudi Arabia in a 2025 study. Care of the neck airway tube needs skill and set routines, yet practice varies and formal rules are thin. The team asked about daily practice, confidence, and what blocks better care.
More than one thousand therapists replied during the second half of 2024. Care was on offer in most hospitals, but over a fifth had no set protocol. Fewer than half had more than a few hours of formal training, and only about a fifth felt sure when managing such patients. Lack of knowledge and training topped the barriers. The authors urge standard rules and more schooling.
