This pilot study evaluates the safety and feasibility of a novel airway exchange broncholaryngoscope (AEBLScope) during routine tracheostomy tube exchanges in chronically tracheostomy-dependent adult outpatients.
The AEBLScope is a modified disposable bronchoscope designed to allow for simultaneous visualization during airway tube exchanges. This prospective, single-arm pilot study will assess the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of the AEBLScope in low-risk airway tube exchanges.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Chronically (\>1 month) tracheostomy-dependent outpatients * Currently not requiring ventilatory or supplemental oxygen support * Have undergone at least one prior tracheostomy tube exchange * Scheduled for routine in-office tracheostomy tube exchange * Able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Active respiratory infection * Patients with airway tubes having an inner diameter less than 6.0 mm * Patients with preexisting pulmonary conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease, untreated pneumoni…
