A decade of pediatric tracheostomies: Indications, outcomes, and long-term prognosis.

abstract：:While the use of the raised volume rapid thoraco-abdominal compression (RVRTC) technique has been shown to provide new insights into airway and pulmonary pathophysiology in infants, and appears to resemble the spirometric techniques used in older subjects, there is as yet no consensus regarding measurement procedures,...
