Abstract
A systematic review of literature was conducted to explore the application of fenestrated tracheostomy tubes. While there is risk for complications, fenestrated tracheostomy tubes can potentially be beneficial in certain circumstances, especially for weaning patients from mechanical ventilation and in patients who have previous complications with other tracheostomy tubes.
