“Translational Bioethics Research: Improving Pediatric Tracheostomy Shared Decision-Making at the Bedside”
Katie Baughman, MD & Stephanie Kukora MD
Tracheostomy decisions for pediatric patients are often complex, high-stakes, and have serious implications for patients and families. Because of the nature of these decisions, a shared decision-making approach is recommended, to incorporate medical information and the patient’s/family’s values into decision-making. Parents facing these decisions must consider their child’s quality of life, as well as the impact on themselves and their other children. Despite the gravity of these clinical situations, little is known about how decision-making around pediatric tracheostomy occurs in practice. In this session, we will discuss the challenges of medical decision-making around pediatric tracheostomy identified by surveys of parents and staff, as well as interventions to improve shared decision-making in these contexts based on these findings.
